What is The Digital:Transformation Approach?
The Digital:Transformation Approach is a change methodology for enterprises looking to build adaptability, capability, capacity and confidence to deal with the continuous disruption of digital technologies. Digital leadership requires not that you know all about technology, but that you commit to reimagine your business’ core capabilities to create value for your customers. In a digital landscape, how do you maximise your platforms, your relationships with customers, your data, and your co-opetition to thrive?
Designed by Digital Transformation specialist Dr Hannah Rudman, The Digital Transformation Approach blends the modern methods of strategy development and change management with action research; and utilises some of the tools, attitudes, and techniques of design thinking, and creative practice.
The Approach has been extensively used with a range of organisations and independent academic studies have verified that 86% of enterprises adapted, making one or more parts of their business digital, 37% of these transformed to become digital businesses. The more design and creative tools were used, the more likely an organisation was to transform. Is it for you?
The approach and tools are iteratively improved with the best new ideas and tools emerging in the digital transformation field. Also, learnings and experiences of businesses that have completed digital transformation using the approach have provided feedback that has been taken into account to provide an easy-to-use step-by-step approach to undertaking a successful digital transformation journey. You can read and watch case study stories of the impacts and outputs of digital transformation journeys already undertaken through working with The Digital Transformation Approach.
The Approach’s online toolkit is FREE to use and has been specifically designed for organisations of any size, type and operational model – to enable any enterprise to approach digital transformation with confidence.
