How can you ensure that your digital strategy doesn’t stall?
In our first part of this series, we looked at how companies looking to upgrade and modernize their process and systems have followed the same processes and procedures for the past 20 years. From RFI to requirement gathering to workshops and final signing, suppliers and customers have wrestled with formulaic approaches to technology implementations that have cost them both in terms of transparency, speed, and cost efficiency.
For most companies looking to get to the point where they can present a solution’s business case to the board, they’re looking at almost a year’s worth of paperwork and admin. The other issue is that the traditional way of approaching this process is also very reliant on the supplier and limits visibility for the customer at key touchpoints along the way.
To resolve these challenges and reshape these conversations, the solution is to reinvigorate the decision process and reimagine the way you approach your digital transformation.
Translate complexity into an engaging decision process that works
This is an important step. You’ve got the mandate to ensure that your organization stays ahead of the trends and evolutions in digital transformation. You need to know that your business can compete on the global stage, that you can innovate at speed, and that you’ve got the agility needed to pivot in endlessly uncertain times. You also don’t want to have to negotiate endless hurdles and complexities to tick all of these boxes.
This is particularly relevant today, as a recent PwC survey pointed out, with 60% of executives citing digital transformation as key to growth and a further 42% investing into digital transformation because it’s central to keeping the business ahead of compliance with increasingly challenging regulations and legislations, globally. In addition, IDC believes that spend will continue to grow with a CAGR of 16.4% from 2021-2025, with companies increasingly paying attention to its strategic relevance.
Digitally-driven, data-led, digital native, digital innovation – these are the terms that are linked to organizations that are thriving in uncertain and challenging times. As McKinsey puts it, digital is ‘Prioritizing technology transformations to win’ and has widened the gap between the companies that are winning post-pandemic showing measurable growth and stability.
