I am always asked about the best approach for digital transformation. From my experience, I can warrant that every company is different. It has its specific challenges, its legacy, and its opportunities. That's why there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I advise to take an approach tailored to your business and most importantly that aligns with the company's strategy and its operating environment. What do you think?

Digital transformation should be approached the same way as any new project. Identify the business problem to be solved, map out the current and future states, and identify the path to get to the future. Implement/change business processes and evaluated technology where appropriate. If everyone is clear on the problem to be solved it’s a lot easier to get everyone pulling in the same direction and have success. If you start witty the solution (“digital transformation”) you’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall.CTO in Healthcare and Biotech3 years ago
Indeed, I would add to do a thorough analysis of the weaknesses your business has if the digital transformation would not take place in a medium term, with it you and your team can focus on the most important & relevant process to be digitalized first.Asst. VP - IT in Software3 years ago
Well summarized, can’t agree more. Any Product or Service that cannot be adjusted or tailor-made according to the business need, soon or later, will be out from the race for sure. Every industry have seen such cases in the recent past.Senior Director, Defense Programs in Software3 years ago
This is an interesting one. There is something different about organizations, but the strategies, techniques, and tools to support and foster digital transformation rhyme. There are approaches to accelerate innovation that are cornerstones across companies. This is where the value of advisors, analysts, and technology partners are super sized in value.Director of Value Realization and COE Programs in Softwarea year ago
I think that too many things get lumped together and some important things get left out of DT. For example, where does digital adoption fit in? I have yet to see a DT initiative where there is a workstream fully dedicated to Digital Adoption. And I don't mean just training people to use the new technologies, but managing it through the lifecycle of the IT product. Making technology people savvy, measuring adoption and usage trends, putting help content in the application and making sure that it is being used as designed. We need to go well beyond the implementation of software.
