There is no denying that we are in a digital era. Since the turn of the millennium, technology has grown rapidly and with it, came the birth of digital technologies.
These digital technologies have helped organisations to improve and streamline business processes and improve the quality of delivery to their customers.
As we have discussed before, in our blog post about What Digital Transformation is, you need to have a strategy of implementation, and cover every aspect of your organisation, in order to be successful with your digital transformation. In this post, we’ll be going over some helpful tips you need to keep in mind, in order to succeed.
Define your goals and how digital transformation will help you achieve them
Whenever you implement a new strategy or practice, you must make sure it is aligned with your goals. Digital Transformation is not a “one size fits all” situation. You need to determine what technology is actually going to help you.
No matter what your objective is – cutting costs, improving efficiency, providing better customer service, expanding into a new market, etc. Your digital transformation strategy needs to fit into your goals.
Another important thing to keep in mind is, being able to measure the success of your strategy. You don’t want to put too much time, money and effort into something, and it produces little to no results.
Cover your entire organisation
Once you have developed a strategy and know your goals, it would be time to implement.
Implementing a digital transformation strategy needs to happen from the head to the toes of your organisation. You need to have the right leaders in place, to show the rest of the organisation how important the efforts of digital transformation truly are.
You must instil a culture for digital innovation. From the CEO to the managers, right down to the customer service agents, they need to be aware of the plan, be given the tools and information to execute it and be involved, to produce the best results.
Get the right tools
Now that you’ve got your team on board and you know what you’re aiming for, it’s time to get the tools and resources you need to execute your strategy.
While there are a plethora of digital tools at your disposal, you need to ensure you get the right ones. This is why defining your goals is such an important part of your strategy, as certain tools will help with certain things.
Identifying these tools will come from your own research, once you’ve defined your goals. However, there are a few basic technologies we could recommend, to get you started. Artificial Intelligence will help with customer engagement and personalisation, automation can help streamline business processes, data analytics will help with adapting to the market, and cloud computing can help bring different departments and technologies together.
Keep going!
Digital Transformation is not a once-off deal. Technology is changing rapidly, and your strategy needs to account for this.
Once you have started implementing your digital transformation strategy, you need to keep it going – making changes and adopting new or improved technologies to ensure you do not fall behind. Digital Transformation is an ongoing practice.
