Learning From 3 Digital Transformation Strategies [Detailed Examples and Case Studies]
I will summarize three key areas: business process management, organizational change, and technology. The technology aspect encompasses not only enterprise applications but also solution architecture, business intelligence, and analytics. I will discuss these three areas and provide a few examples based on real scenarios with some of our current clients. While I won’t mention the organizations by name, I will describe their situations and the strategic considerations and variables involved.
Understanding How Human Psychology Leads to Resistance to Change During Digital Transformation
When assisting clients in their digital transformation journeys, we are often requested to help manage change, particularly addressing the human aspect of change and resistance to it. This involves ensuring employee adoption, buy-in, and understanding of the transformation objectives and goals associated with the project. However, it is common for organizations and their employees to resist change. Despite envisioning a utopian future, when it comes to implementing the change, people inevitably resist it. Today, I will discuss a basic psychological framework that explains why people resist change. Additionally, I will explore strategies to mitigate risks and overcome psychological challenges within organizations.
Why Digital Transformations Are Failing at an Alarming Rate
Digital transformations are failing at an accelerated pace. In fact, the failure rate has reached epidemic proportions within the industry. It is important to understand why these failures are occurring more frequently over time and explore potential strategies for mitigating the associated risks.
Defining Future State Strategies and Business Processes in Digital Transformation
When assisting clients with their digital strategies, one of our initial inquiries is to understand their desired outcome and future state for their organization and operations. We must clearly articulate and define our desired future state for the organization, operations, and people involved in the digital transformation. That’s what we will be discussing in this article.
Digital Transformation: How To Convince Executives and Leaders to Start the Journey
Selling digital transformation to executive teams is of great importance. Occasionally, digital transformations are initiated by the executive team itself as a top-down approach. However, more often than not, the need or desire for digital transformation is identified at lower levels of the organization and eventually presented to the executive team for approval.
The issue arises when many project teams and employees within organizations recognize the need for digital transformation but lack the knowledge on how to effectively convey the idea to their executives. They may struggle to communicate in a way that resonates with the executive team and highlights the most crucial points. Therefore, in this article, I will discuss the key strategies that we have observed to be most successful in selling the idea and demonstrating the value of digital transformation to executive teams
Uncovering the Biggest (and Most Underestimated) Cost of Digital Transformation
When undergoing digital transformations with our clients, they often struggle with a decision regarding how to optimize implementation time, cost, and risk. However, this focus on time, cost, and risk does not always consider the potential cost, risk, and time associated with disruption if the digital transformation goes poorly. To provide some context, our research indicates that between 52% and 54% of organizations experience significant operational disruptions when they go live with new technology.

How to Decide When to Go-Live with Your Digital Transformation [Making the Go/No-Go Decision]
In every digital transformation project we undertake, there is always a question regarding whether or not we should proceed with the go-live phase. Typically, towards the end of a project, there is a milestone called the “Go/No-Go decision.” This serves as the final checkpoint to ensure that everything is ready, or at the very least, that we are comfortable with the risk involved in going live. However, there are instances even earlier in a project where it becomes evident that something is amiss, and we are off track. In such cases, the predetermined go-live milestone in our plan may pose too much risk.
Why Defining “Why” is Key to Digital Transformation and ERP Implementation Success
In the realm of digital transformation, I believe we can learn from our childhood curiosity. We should embrace the habit of asking questions, challenging the status quo, and questioning the current practices. For example, we should question why we are conducting projects in a certain way, why we rely on external vendors to dictate our project execution, or why we tend to mismanage project scopes. Today, I will discuss the importance of asking these “why” questions and identifying the areas that require such inquiries.
