Digital transformation starts with a robust business strategy and visionary leadership


Organizational culture eats strategy for breakfast, lunch and dinner; so don’t leave it unattended.
Mark Fields (adapted from Peter Drucker)

Strategy plays a crucial role in guiding organizations towards their next level of maturity on the digital ladder. This involves aligning operational models and talent development with continuous improvement in enterprise operations. To achieve this, business leaders must make bold choices and prioritize platform and architecture shifts that will have the most significant impact on business outcomes. This includes improving both operations effectiveness (doing the right thing) and efficiency (doing it right).

To ensure successful change strategies, organizations must clearly define their desired outcomes, establish metrics to track progress, and build holistic data governance and operational structures that can effectively support the change after it is implemented.

Steering committees play a critical role in ensuring ongoing alignment, providing direction during execution, managing delivery partners, and implementing new processes or platforms. It's important to note that cultural change cannot be planned; success typically arises from the continuous execution of contextual strategies, organizational design and change management, and the convergence of capabilities and practices.
