Course Overview

Digital transformations have a very high failure rate of 70% to 92%. Reasons for transformation failure from research comprising 2970 companies, and 10074 executives globally, indicated very varied reasons for failure, substantiating that the absence of a holistic and structured approach is the leading cause of failure. The reasons for failure can be broadly categorised into four dimensions – customers, business, capabilities and people and leadership issues.

This course covers the customer and business dimensions. The customer dimension looks at how a desirable Customer Value Proposition (CVP) is derived from the following five elements – segment choice, understanding of the segment gaps, and deriving the insights from the gaps, which then allows the creation of a unique experience, that is finally backed by a robust business process re-engineering. Participants will be assigned a business use case and perform suitable exercises chosen from a total of 35 available exercises in the customer dimension to understand the key concepts and how to apply them in practice. Not deriving a desirable CVP is a key reason for digital transformation failure.

The business dimension results in the creation of a viable business model (BM). There are four elements – differentiation, path to profit, scaling and core competence gaps. Participants will be assigned selected exercises from a total of 22 to understand the key concepts and how to apply them in practice. Not creating a viable BM is another key reason for digital transformation failure.

At the end of the course, participants will gain a full appreciation of customer experience management, business process re-engineering and product design and development and how they can create a desirable CVP by designing the key considerations for each element of the customer dimension. In addition, participants will understand and appreciate the role of business innovation in deriving a viable BM.
