Below is more information on what digital transformation is and how it could help businesses to stay relevant and be competitive in the new business landscape.
What is Digital Transformation?
Digital transformation is defined as the adoption of digital processes and tools to achieve strategic business goals. It is a complicated process that represents a cultural shift in the workplace and changes affecting every part of an organization.
The fundamental key areas of digital transformation include:
Collaboration
Every member of the organization is involved in achieving a shared vision. This often means working together at different levels of an organization and across different teams and departments.
Cultural
The whole process shifts away from traditional business structures and hierarchies as well as empowers employees to make decisions and contribute ideas.
Cloud based
The system is economical and agile, allowing businesses to choose one that meets their needs and eventually streamline their IT and infrastructure costs.
Mobile
To be on mobile where more or half of all web traffic is generated.
Innovation
Always experimenting and learning from outcomes to inform a larger change across the company.
Evolution
Continuous learning and evolving.
Data-driven
Collecting and analyzing data about your customers as well as measuring the company internally.
Customer-centric
Focused on providing better service and experience for your clients.
Why Digital Transformation
Engaged employees
Digitally transformed businesses empower employees through transparency, learning opportunities, and open communication. With provided data, employers are able to track and improve their employees’ performance for the overall growth as well as development of the company.
Increased profits
Business that embrace and adapt to the change can expect growth of revenue from making smart decisions and training employees in emerging industries using ready available data.
Greater resilience
Digital businesses are able to build resilience by replacing fixed structures and inflexible processes with a workplace culture and infrastructure that will respond as well as adapt to new market demands.
Avoiding the competency trap
Change is sometimes unavoidable especially during these times. We all need to adapt to the ever-changing business landscape when things eventually stop working. It is often said that what may work yesterday, may not work again today, and therefore waiting for the opportunity or the means to do it would eventually mean making decisions for short-term survival rather than a long-term growth.
