If your business is considering a Digital Transformation (Dx) initiative, it is important to understand the real benefits of Digital Transformation as reported by businesses that have embraced the Dx approach to business growth and management.
Adapting to Change
There is one consistent factor reported among the businesses surveyed, and that factor is change. Change is happening faster and in more complex ways than ever before. Businesses recognize that change provides opportunity, but they also know that they must be ready to respond to change if they are to capitalize on these opportunities. By accelerating the Dx process, implementing new and/or streamlined technology and embracing data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud data management, businesses can work at a faster pace with more accurate, up-to-date information and provide team members with the tools they need to stay on target, on schedule and on budget.
Operations Management
Businesses engaged in Digital Transformation (Dx) are using this process to review, modify and improve business processes, approval processes, project lifecycles, and other day-to-day team and individual tasks. Using technology, these businesses are innovating for agility to encourage creativity and engender a competitive advantage with sustainable, solid operations processes, including supply chain, production, purchasing, market research and analytics, etc.
Continuous Improvement Strategy
Whether the team member is a CEO, a CIO, a middle manager or a team member, the use of Digital Transformation (Dx) to leverage technology and analytics for continuous improvement is an important approach. Businesses can reduce operating expenses and introduce new ways to work, using technology and A.I. By embracing Dx change and moving the organization forward, the business builds a foundation for future change and to support agile adaptation and resource management. While many businesses see technology investment as ‘nice to have’ but expensive, the cost to the organization of falling behind is much steeper. By creating a technology and skills ecosystem to support change, the business can be more agile and scalable and focus on its clients and competition rather than on the bureaucracy of information and data management. Building and supporting data democratization and a workforce with solid technical tools and skills, the business can ensure that the culture and the technology infrastructure are aligned and can work seamlessly. It can support remote work strategies, expand locations, engage partners and work and collaborate across time zones, etc.
