Digital Business Transformation
(DBT) radically changes what
is possible by revolutionizing
both value delivered to the
market, and the way in which
value is created by embracing
digitally-native mindsets, tools,
and process.

15. What is innovation?
Creating value for
people through new
or improved services
and products (or
creating platforms for
doing it systemically).
16. We are in an era of
continuous innovation.
We’ve entered an era forcing companies
to shift their priorities and activities faster
than ever before, presenting challenges:
• How to be as nimble
as possible, yet
optimize the
business?
• How to transform the
core business?
• How to identify the
next big bet and
business platform?
17. In fact, we have seen a
vast array of innovation in
how to innovate.
22. Product management
is more important
than ever precisely
because new
innovations intersect
business, technology,
and design.

26. What is (Digital) Product Management (a too brief primer)?

Product management is
a value focused approach
to running an organization,
requiring a shift from
projects focused on scope,
time, and budget to flow,
quality, and value.

At Target, the first pilot of the new product management
and value model was put in place for Adaptive Mobile
Web. Key changes in this approach versus what had
previously been done included:
• Fully empowered product managers/owners
• Sub-product teams organized around customer journey
• Daily review of KPI’s
• Work financed by commitments
to KPI objectives – VC style funding – not features
• Teams have ability to reprioritize without
additional permission

T-Mobile reorganized around a set of prioritized
journeys, and we helped them leverage service design
to make sure the customer experience that was
envisioned could be realized in the most efficient
fashion.
• In one example, ”Self-serve upgrade”
• We identified the lack of customers ability to upgrade
their mobile devices without coming to a retail store
• The service and digital design defined a new experience,
new business processes, and technology requirements
• +$9M net revenue/savings in first quarter of
launch

the org and ops are just as

We’ve seen big results at a major UK bank by combining these approaches
As every discipline evolves their practice, and gets better at creating value, contemporary organizations are being caught between potentially conflicting approaches. Experience strategy, service design, modern product management, and lean startup-like new offering innovation processes all purport to be a path to drive customer-centered, business-driving results! Yet, there seems to be little to zero understanding of how these fit together, or if they are in direct conflict. This presentation will propose roles for, and a model to drive clarity in how potentially conflicting approaches are actually complementary, specifically in the context of everyone’s favorite topic du jour, digital business transformation.
