The Layers and Phases of Effective Digital Transformations
Technology is a tool, not a strategy. When a company undergoes a digital transformation , they are embedding technologies across their businesses to drive fundamental change, often resulting in increased efficiency and greater agility. But that change doesn’t just happen on its own overnight, and a big reason why only 30 percent of transformations are successful is that CIOs, CDOs and CTOs might be losing the forest for the trees. No longer is the goal of digital transformation to become digitally native, but instead to drive real, tangible value for the business. Charting a clear path towards that value and executing on it is the differentiator between companies that maximize their strategy and the ones that embrace digital transformation just because everyone else is. VALUE CREATION The pace of change in the digital world is dizzying, and it’s easy to get caught-up rubbernecking the competition to spot the latest trends. Digital enthusiasts move in the same circles, read the same articles, and attend the same industry trade shows hyping the hottest tech. The result can be a Frankenstein monster of a digital strategy, cobbled-together tech that might not actually be valuable for their business. The fact is, every organization’s […]
The path to digital transformation
Europe is quickening its step in a bid to catch up in the global race towards a digital future. Hartley Milner reports on the swathe of actions that could see the region take the lead in the transition while boosting trade opportunities at home and across international markets. The Path to the Digital Decade is a programme of ambitious targets and support initiatives devised by the European Union to make sure every member state is ready for the “challenges of an evolving and inter-connected world” by 2030. How the EU aims to get there is set out as a ‘digital compass’, each of its four points indicating a core strategy – promotion of digital skills, rollout of secure and sustainable digital infrastructures, the digital transformation of businesses and digitalisation of the public sector. The Union pledges to work towards these objectives without compromise on “transparency, security or fundamental digital rights and principles”. Additionally, each country will have to come up with a strategic roadmap of its own, showing how it will go about achieving the transition, including measures backed up by regulation and investment. “The Digital Decade is about making digital technology work for people and businesses,” said Margrethe […]

The Secret to Digital Success Is Savvier Tech Buying
Amid all the doom-and-gloom in the market, the technology sector remains robust thanks to companies’ continuing efforts to adopt new cloud-and-AI based systems. But as purse strings get tighter, businesses need to get more savvy about their tech purchases if they want those investments to succeed. It’s clear that, despite cost-cutting in other parts of their organizations, executives aren’t pushing pause on the critical digital overhauls that will help define the future of their businesses. Researchers at Statista predict global digital transformation spending will reach $3.4 trillion by 2026. But while the word “digital” is now in the daily lexicon of most executives, IT modernization efforts are no longer the bottomless pit of money they once were. Companies are more focused than ever on maximizing their spend and getting the biggest return possible. And for good reason. Enterprise buying decisions have long seemed tribal, political and agenda-driven, resulting in decisions that may not be logical or even address the actual problem a company sought out to solve. Adding to that, the market is increasingly clogged with half-baked products that are marketed as some magic solution. Only after the ink has dried on the contract do most customers realize how […]
