Digital transformation seems to be on everyone’s mind. Stakeholders want it, customers expect it, and talent seems to follow it. But what is digital transformation? It may be easiest to start with what it’s not: digital transformation isn’t a single technology change that can solve all challenges. While any step taken toward digital transformation is progress, it’s not enough to simply purchase a new technology and stop there. It requires a culture change and fundamental shift in mindset that prioritizes clearly defined goals, organizationwide embracement, and a sustained commitment to change — but the rewards are worth it.
Digital transformation offers tremendous opportunities to drive growth and profitability, but your organization’s digital transformation goals need to be explicitly defined and resources aligned first. Developing specific use cases, outcomes, and progress measures are enablers for success. What digital transformation means to you is highly dependent on your unique needs and to what degree your previous technology investments have been focused on when implementing a tool or creating new business value enabled by changes in technology. One organization may prioritize the benefits of process automation while another may focus on the power of analytics to support more data-driven decision-making. However, both must be approached as a business initiative to be supported by technology, not an IT project, to achieve the desired value. Otherwise, you may find yourself spending a lot of time and money on expensive technology with no meaningful advancement or value creation.
