Digital TransformationPart 10

When I studied for an MBA in 2014/2015, my final project considered target operating models for success. It focused on operating frameworks and the transformational steps that organisations should consider when embarking on significant transformational change, e.g. when planning/executing a digital transformation strategy. My research spanned multiple industries at various stages of their transformations, identifying that implementation budget was no guarantee of success.

It also found support from the organisations’ senior managers was a key determinant of success & where organisations had positive outcomes, they were linked to a series of critical success factors. Other critical success factors include effective communication across the organisation and across teams, promoting collaboration throughout; targeted staff training, adopting a phased approach, assessing the current operating model to identify process priorities to address and the organisation’s culture readiness etc., there are many more. Importantly, the need for effective Consultant selection, use of Consultants and a project champion.
