Start achieving your digital strategy: Develop a road map to enable success
Aug. 24, 2023
Maturing businesses regularly need to revisit their strategies for bringing new digital capabilities and technologies into their operations to stay on top of an increasingly competitive landscape. Organizations and entire business models are being rendered obsolete by disruptive innovations, and these forces will not wait for your organization to react.
To be on the right side of disruption, organizations should proactively seek opportunities for technology to help implement new business models, deliver new products, expand revenue, amplify operational efficiencies, enhance customer and employee experiences and continue to compete in the digital landscape.
How does a strategic assessment work?
Digital transformation empowers your organization to build digital competency and capabilities across the organization. Our strategic assessment and road map development framework is designed to aid your organization in growing the core aspects of digital maturity while helping to define a tailored path to get ahead in our ever-changing digital world.
Strategic assessment and road map development is an essential component of a successful digital transformation initiative as it provides a clear and structured framework to align technological initiatives with business goals, anticipate potential challenges and ensure a coordinated and phased approach, increasing the chances of delivering sustainable organizational growth in the digital age.
Our structured and tested approach for strategic assessments and road map development is based on 4 phases: initiation, current state, future state and road map.
Phase 1: Initiate project
Lay the foundation for a seamless project and a strong, collaborative relationship by co-developing a work plan.
The focus of this phase is to understand the executive strategy and stakeholder needs that provide context for the prioritization setting and define the project’s goals, objectives and resource roles and responsibilities. As not all project tasks can be addressed simultaneously and don’t carry equal importance, the prioritization setting is necessary to sift through the choices and establish a logical priority that aligns with your specific organizational needs.
