Course Overview
One of the reasons for the high transformation failures of 70-92% is the absence of a holistic and structured approach in planning and execution. Leaders often rush into their transformation initiatives by going technology-first.
Digital isn’t a driver of change, it’s an enabler. Too often, there is an outsized focus on technology or digital at the expense of other key factors of change, like customer pain points, how to scale or become profitable, leveraging new ways of working, people, processes, and many more. Thus, to succeed in business transformation, you need a holistic approach that focuses on 4 dimensions – customers, business, capabilities and people & leadership, and how these key dimensions interact with each other. Organisations that adopt this new approach, achieve better and more successful outcomes. That’s why adopting a different approach to digital transformation is crucial for your success. This course leverages systems thinking to resolve the interactions and circular loops among the four dimensions.
This course covers the capabilities and people and leadership dimensions. The capabilities dimension consists of the following elements – design, methodology, data, information technology, ecosystems and new disciplines, whilst the people and leadership dimension cover the following elements – mission values (otherwise known as your transformation narrative), leadership, talent gap and structure. The outcome of the course allows the participant to understand how to construct these elements to ensure the transformation is feasible. This course highlights the role of enablers like design, methodology, data and information management, technology management adoption and innovation and creating ecosystems, and how to orchestrate these enablers for customer experience management, and product design and development.
