What is Digital Transformation?
3
Digital transformation is the profound transformation of
business and organizational activities, processes,
competencies and models to fully leverage the changes and
opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and their
accelerating impact across society in a strategic and
prioritized way, with present and future shifts in mind.
https://www.i-scoop.eu/
https://www.simplethread.com/what-is-digital-transformation/
“Digital transformation closes the gap between what digital
customers already expect and what analog businesses
actually deliver.”
“Digital transformation means Digital First

Strategy
Strategy is creating fit between a firms business
elements that allow trade–offs to be made for
the benefit of its customers.
If no trade–offs are made, the resulting
decisions support operational effectiveness but
not strategy
+
 A hypothesis requires a test of its validity
 These tests require units of measure meaningful to the decision makers
 Measures of Effectiveness
 Measures of Performance
 Technical Performance Measures
 Key Performance Parameters
 The strategy must address Risk created by Uncertainty
 Reducible (Epistemic) Uncertainty
 Irreducible (Aleatory) Uncertainty
 In the presence of these uncertainties, estimates must be made of the
efficacy and impact of business and technical decisions.
The hypothesis is … Digital Transformation can measurably
improve the business and technical performance of the firm.
Strategy is a Hypothesis
5
+
 Define the strategic direction toward the goal and vision of the
transformed business.
 Align the Organization to each of the strategic initiatives.
 Implement the Strategy according to a plan that produces measurable
outcomes.
 Continuously improve the efficacy of the tactics that implement the
strategy.
 Continuously measure and adapt the strategy to emerging business and
technical conditions from feedback of the measures of effectiveness and
performance.
Success of Digital Transformation starts with Strategy that is translated
into an executable project with tangible measures of progress to plan.
Five Steps to Digital Transformation
6
+
Some More Definitions
 Strategy is the creation of a unique and valuable position, involving a
different set of activities.
 Serving the few needs of the many ‒ Jiffy lube only provides auto lubricants
 Serving the broad needs of the few ‒ Bessemer Trust only targets high end
clients
 Serving the broad needs of the many ‒ Cinemark operates in cities of
200,000 population or more
 Strategy requires you to make trade‒offs when competing ‒ to chose
what not to do
 Gains in one area can only be made at the expense of another area
 Strategy involves creating FIT among the companies activities
 Strategy and leadership are inextricably linked
7
+
 It must be flexible,
 No credible Plan is written in stone
 Environments change
 The plan must change with it
 Everyone involved in its creation, since the Plan impacts everyone in
the organization
 Planning is not a once–a–year exercise, or a piece of paper that's
created and never looked at again
 The Plan is actionable and relevant to the company's vision / mission
 It's geared toward customers, not towards internal activities
 The Plan is updated for every change to the strategy of the firm
Planning is a Continuous Improvement Process
Criteria for a Digital Transformation
Strategic Plan
8
+ Step 1:
Determine Who We Are …
9
Start with who we are now?
 Prospector
 Analyzer
 Defender
 Reactor
… then who we want to be?
+ There are Four Organizational Strategies
 Prospector’s continually
search for innovative
market opportunities and
experiment regularly with
new responses to
emerging trends
 Analyzer’s operate
routinely and efficiently
through formal structures
and processes, while
simultaneously watching
competitors for promising
new ideas which they then
rapidly adopt
 Defender’s given their
narrow product market
domains, are highly expert in
their organization's area of
operation but do little to seek
out new opportunities outside
their primary domain
 Reactor’s are unable to
respond effectively to known
change and uncertainty in
their organization's
environment
† “The Balanced Scorecard: To Adopt or not to adopt?” Kevin Hendricks, Larry Menor and Christine Wiedman, Ivey Business Journal, Nov/Dec 2004
10
+ Step 2:
Focus on the Mission and Vision
Mission  Action
 What is the organization
about?
‒ What do we do?
‒ Who do we do it for?
‒ What is the benefit?
Vision  Results of Action
 What does the organization want
to become?
‒ What are the results of our
actions?
‒ If we achieve our mission what
will the future look like?
Mission and Vision provide the anchors for developing a strategy.
Without a Mission and Vision, the underlying performance metrics have no
foundation on which to stand.
Why are we measuring this activity?
Ask the Mission and Vision for the answer.
11
+ Creating Value Through Strategy
 An unambiguous sense of direction
that permeates the organization.
 Strategic and operational plans that
reinforce each other.
 Decision–makers understand how
their roles contribute to the total
enterprise and their accountability is
clear.
 There are no simplistic ideas about
how customers and competitors will
respond to actions of the enterprise.
 Empowerment is throughout the
enterprise.
 Conflict and differences of opinion are
not suppressed.
 Interaction of market knowledge with
creative product ideas produces a
steady stream of innovation.
 Existing and retired employees are the
most effective source of new employees.
 Other companies want to do business
with us.
 When asked “if the enterprise was a
school, would you pay tuition for your
children to attend?” The answer would
be “yes.”
“The Market–Based Adaptive Enterprise: Listening, Learning and Leading Through Systems Thinking, Vincent P. Barabba, in
Proceedings Russell L. Ackoff and The Advent of Systems Thinking, March 1999
It is VALUE we’re after with a Strategy that enables …
12
+ Strategic Readiness
 ... (few) can assert with confidence that the
intangible assets of their organization are fully
activated, integrated with their corporate
objectives, and ready for effective deployment on
the competitive landscape
 Intangible assets are only assets when they are
ready for deployment. If they cannot be used
effectively, their strategic readiness is reduced and
their value to the organization is impaired.
In order to deliver value we must first be
Ready to deliver value
13
+ Success with Strategy means Managing the
Intangible Assets of the Firm
 Managing Tangible assets is a straight forward infrastructure
management and control problem
 It’s the Intangible assets that must be managed
 Strategy converts Intangible assets into Tangible assets
 Strategy, NOT Technology, drives Digital Transformation
14
+ Stay Focused on the Outcomes
General Mission
Strategic Themes
Desired Outcomes
Metrics
Strategic
Initiatives
What do we do?
Why is it important?
What results do we want?
How will we know when we’ve
achieved these results?
What specific actions do we believe
will lead to these results?
Connecting specific actions with the strategy of the
firm is the role of a Balanced Scorecard
Identifying the strategic initiatives that support the organizational strategies is the
key beneficial outcome of deploying a Balanced Scorecard in Digital
Transformation
15
+ Strategy is About Rearranging the
Tangible assets to improve the Value of
the Intangible assets
16
+ An Example of this Intangible from
Tangible conversion
17
Walt Disney World has entirely aligned and integrated their
organizational capital and culture with their strategic goals of
delivering superior customer service to secure customer
loyalty, promote repeat purchase, and fulfill their corporate
mission.
Few who have visited Walt Disney World would dispute the
fact that the “cast” (the Disney name for employees who are
“on stage” doing their work) is entirely infused with serving
their customers. This is a prime example of organizational
capital alignment with strategic corporate goals.
+ What are the Goals of Transforming Intangible
to Tangible Assets for Digital Transformation
Strategy?
 Look past the competitors
 Ask the customer what they want to see from the Digital
Transformation
 Use executive influence to avoid a technological solution as the
Strategy for Digital Transformation
 Align the culture of the firm with the Strategy, not the other way around

Strategy tells us where we are, where we are going and when we arrive what will be
the tangible beneficial outcome in units of measure meaningful to the decision makers
Balanced Scorecard is a Powerful
Mechanism for Defining Strategy
23
+ What Does a Balanced Scorecard
Do?
 A Balanced Scorecard defines an organization’s performance and
measures whether management is achieving desired results.
 The Balanced Scorecard translates Mission and Vision
Statements into a comprehensive set of objectives and performance
measures that can be quantified and appraised.

+ To Construct and Implement a Strategy
with Balanced Scorecard, we need to …
 Articulate the business’s vision and strategy
 Identify the performance categories that best link the business’s vision and
strategy to its results (such as financial performance, operations, innovation,
employee performance)
 Establish objectives that support the business’s vision and strategy
 Develop effective measures and meaningful standards, establishing both short-
term milestones and long-term targets
 Ensure companywide acceptance of the measures
 Create appropriate budgeting, tracking, communication and reward systems
 Collect and analyze performance data and compare actual results with desired
performance
 Take action to close unfavorable gaps

 Only 5% of the workforce
understands the strategy
 Informed action is virtually impossible
without sound knowledge of the
organizations strategy
 Only 25% of managers have
incentives linked to strategy
 Incentives linked to short-term
financial targets, leads to less than
rational decision making at the
expense of long term sustainable
success
 85% of executive teams spend less
than one hour per month discussing
strategy
 Without a clear and concise
blueprint for success – the strategy
– manage will focus on financial
and operational details
 60% of organizations don’t link
budget to strategy
 Based on strategy, what initiatives
distinguish us from our
competition?

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find
information upon it.
When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do is to know what books
have treated of it.
This leads us to look at catalogues, and at the backs of books in libraries.

Successful Digital Transformation Starts with a Well-Defined Strategy

  • 1. + Successful Digital Transformation Starts with a well defined Executable Strategy for Success Leading successful Digital Transformation projects can not be successful without a Strategy for their success. This briefing shows how to develop and apply a Strategy for Program Success through clear and concise descriptions of the strategic outcomes, Measures of Effectiveness and Performances, and identification of Value needed to meet business goals in a timely manner for the needed budget. 1 11 July 2018 09:10 – 10:10 Glen B. Alleman Niwot Ridge LLC
  • 2. What is a Strategy for Digital Transform ??? 2
  • 3. + What is Digital Transformation? 3 Digital transformation is the profound transformation of business and organizational activities, processes, competencies and models to fully leverage the changes and opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and their accelerating impact across society in a strategic and prioritized way, with present and future shifts in mind. https://www.i-scoop.eu/ https://www.simplethread.com/what-is-digital-transformation/ “Digital transformation closes the gap between what digital customers already expect and what analog businesses actually deliver.” “Digital transformation means Digital First
  • 4. 4 Strategy Strategy is creating fit between a firms business elements that allow trade–offs to be made for the benefit of its customers. If no trade–offs are made, the resulting decisions support operational effectiveness but not strategy
  • 5. +  A hypothesis requires a test of its validity  These tests require units of measure meaningful to the decision makers  Measures of Effectiveness  Measures of Performance  Technical Performance Measures  Key Performance Parameters  The strategy must address Risk created by Uncertainty  Reducible (Epistemic) Uncertainty  Irreducible (Aleatory) Uncertainty  In the presence of these uncertainties, estimates must be made of the efficacy and impact of business and technical decisions. The hypothesis is … Digital Transformation can measurably improve the business and technical performance of the firm. Strategy is a Hypothesis 5
  • 6. +  Define the strategic direction toward the goal and vision of the transformed business.  Align the Organization to each of the strategic initiatives.  Implement the Strategy according to a plan that produces measurable outcomes.  Continuously improve the efficacy of the tactics that implement the strategy.  Continuously measure and adapt the strategy to emerging business and technical conditions from feedback of the measures of effectiveness and performance. Success of Digital Transformation starts with Strategy that is translated into an executable project with tangible measures of progress to plan. Five Steps to Digital Transformation 6
  • 7. + Some More Definitions  Strategy is the creation of a unique and valuable position, involving a different set of activities.  Serving the few needs of the many ‒ Jiffy lube only provides auto lubricants  Serving the broad needs of the few ‒ Bessemer Trust only targets high end clients  Serving the broad needs of the many ‒ Cinemark operates in cities of 200,000 population or more  Strategy requires you to make trade‒offs when competing ‒ to chose what not to do  Gains in one area can only be made at the expense of another area  Strategy involves creating FIT among the companies activities  Strategy and leadership are inextricably linked 7
  • 8. +  It must be flexible,  No credible Plan is written in stone  Environments change  The plan must change with it  Everyone involved in its creation, since the Plan impacts everyone in the organization  Planning is not a once–a–year exercise, or a piece of paper that's created and never looked at again  The Plan is actionable and relevant to the company's vision / mission  It's geared toward customers, not towards internal activities  The Plan is updated for every change to the strategy of the firm Planning is a Continuous Improvement Process Criteria for a Digital Transformation Strategic Plan 8
  • 9. + Step 1: Determine Who We Are … 9 Start with who we are now?  Prospector  Analyzer  Defender  Reactor … then who we want to be?
  • 10. + There are Four Organizational Strategies  Prospector’s continually search for innovative market opportunities and experiment regularly with new responses to emerging trends  Analyzer’s operate routinely and efficiently through formal structures and processes, while simultaneously watching competitors for promising new ideas which they then rapidly adopt  Defender’s given their narrow product market domains, are highly expert in their organization's area of operation but do little to seek out new opportunities outside their primary domain  Reactor’s are unable to respond effectively to known change and uncertainty in their organization's environment † “The Balanced Scorecard: To Adopt or not to adopt?” Kevin Hendricks, Larry Menor and Christine Wiedman, Ivey Business Journal, Nov/Dec 2004 10
  • 11. + Step 2: Focus on the Mission and Vision Mission  Action  What is the organization about? ‒ What do we do? ‒ Who do we do it for? ‒ What is the benefit? Vision  Results of Action  What does the organization want to become? ‒ What are the results of our actions? ‒ If we achieve our mission what will the future look like? Mission and Vision provide the anchors for developing a strategy. Without a Mission and Vision, the underlying performance metrics have no foundation on which to stand. Why are we measuring this activity? Ask the Mission and Vision for the answer. 11
  • 12. + Creating Value Through Strategy  An unambiguous sense of direction that permeates the organization.  Strategic and operational plans that reinforce each other.  Decision–makers understand how their roles contribute to the total enterprise and their accountability is clear.  There are no simplistic ideas about how customers and competitors will respond to actions of the enterprise.  Empowerment is throughout the enterprise.  Conflict and differences of opinion are not suppressed.  Interaction of market knowledge with creative product ideas produces a steady stream of innovation.  Existing and retired employees are the most effective source of new employees.  Other companies want to do business with us.  When asked “if the enterprise was a school, would you pay tuition for your children to attend?” The answer would be “yes.” “The Market–Based Adaptive Enterprise: Listening, Learning and Leading Through Systems Thinking, Vincent P.

Few who have visited Walt Disney World would dispute the fact that the “cast” (the Disney name for employees who are “on stage” doing their work) is entirely infused with serving their customers. This is a prime example of organizational capital alignment with strategic corporate goals.

Editor's Notes

  1. The widely accepted view that strategy and execution are separable activities sets companies up for failure in a fast-paced world. When a firm embarks on a Digital Transformation, Strategy and Executive must be connected. Strategy must be in tune with the execution processes of value creation in the real world of Digital Transformation, marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). This means Strategy must be conceived as a hypothesis rather than a plan. Like all hypotheses, it starts with situation assessment and analysis — strategy’s classic tools. Also like all hypotheses, it must be tested through action. “Your Strategy Should Be a Hypothesis You Constantly Adjust,” Amy C. Edmondson and Paul J. Verdin, Harvard Business Review, 9 November 2018
  2. First, Digital Transformation is driven by rapidly-changing technologies. Its successful adoption depends on a sound strategy. Businesses that have successfully embraced Digital Transformation do not adopt individual technologies to solve their individual problems. They have a defined strategy and clear objectives for digitalization in place that aim to guide the transformation of their overall business, instead of ad hoc functions. The ability to digitally reimagine the business is determined by a clear strategy supported by leaders who foster a culture able to change and invent the new. While these insights are consistent with prior technology evolutions, what is unique to digital transformation is that risk taking is becoming a cultural norm as more digitally advanced companies seek new levels of competitive advantage.
  3. A hypothesis is a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. Strategy is built on a chain of hypotheses, because Strategy is all about the future. As progress is made, the same thing is done when the Strategy is translated into the Strategic Plan used to execute the Strategy.
  4. There are various concepts of IT strategies (Teubner 2013), that define the current and the future operational activities, the application systems and infrastructures, and the organizational and financial framework for providing IT to fulfill business operations within a company. Digital transformation focus on transformation of products, processes, and organizational aspects owing from new technologies. Their scope is broadly designed and includes digital activities at the interface with or fully on the side of customers. Independent of the domain, digital transformation strategies have certain elements in common. These elements can be ascribed to five activities across four. dimensions: Use of technologies Changes in value creation Structural changes Financial aspects
  5. Here’s some more background on strategy The emphasis is on creating Fit between the activities and assets of the firm. For Digital Transformation this means that fit must include the customers experience as well.
  6. When down right, Planning is a process of continuous improvement, with the Plans and the Strategy they represents kept current. The strategic planning framework used for this work contains: A Vision A Mission defined short term and long terms strategic timeframes 5 to 7 strategic objectives 3 to 5 optional key characteristics of the organization The strategic objectives and key characteristic are derived from the Vision, the Mission, and essential characteristics The strategic objective and key characteristics are used to assess the entities in each of the strategic timeframes. Once the Strategic Framework is established, it is a simple matter to assess the work activities of the organization against the framework and determine what, if any, changes need to be made to the current work portfolio. Each significant work initiative/project, either product or process, should be assessed periodically against all of the strategic initiatives and key characteristics. The assessment determines how the work initiative align with each strategic objective and key characteristic. The assessment does not assess progress toward completion of the work initiative. This progress assessment takes place through the Measures of Effectiveness, Measures of Performance, Technical Performance Measures, and Key Performance Parameters of the initiatives implementing the strategy
  7. In one paradigm there are four types of firms
  8. Determining which type of firm you are is critical to identifying what strategies will be needed for the Digital Transformation. It may be you’re one or more if these types. Depending on the market, there is no right or wrong type to be. But determining who you are must take place before a strategy can be determined
  9. This maturity follows the SEI Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMM). This approach can be universally applied to other domains outside of software development as it is here. Ad Hoc ‒ processes are usually ad hoc and chaotic. The organization usually does not provide a stable environment. Success in these organizations depends on the competence and heroics of the people in the organization and not on the use of proven processes. Opportunistic ‒ processes are designed an deployed to meet an immediate need, without an overarching framework Repeatable ‒ processes are well characterized and understood, and are described in standards, procedures, tools, and methods. Managed ‒ Quantitative objectives for quality and process performance are established and used as criteria in managing processes. Quantitative objectives are based on the needs of the customer, end users, organization, and process implementers. Quality and process performance are understood in statistical terms and are managed throughout the life of the processes. Optimized ‒ Processes are continually improved based on a quantitative understanding of the common causes of variation inherent in processes.
  10. This chart comes for Jack Ring, who is a Systems Engineering thought leader. In the end, everything we do from development to strategy is about systems and the engineering of those systems. Much can be learned from the principles of Systems Engineering. In many cases the principles of Systems Engineering are missing. The missing practices and processes can be traced to the Rot Causes of many project failures. It is worth investing in learning about and practicing Systems Engineering. One starting point is the professional society for systems engineers www.incose.org
  11. There are many way of building strategies. One is Balanced Scorecard
  12. Here's an example of a Balanced Scorecard for an Enterprise IT organization that supported a large environmental cleanup project. Digitizing the site was a critical success factor for the closure of the plant. Determining what processes, services, and technologies needed to be transformed was started by taking a customer centric view of the role of IT. The work of the customers was to clean up the nuclear waste at Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS), adhere to the Federal, State, and Local laws, assure Environmental Health and Safety regulations were followed, show up on time and on budget for the closure. A digital transformation was needed, since the site was operate in a legacy manner prior to our arrival. Center IT, hardwired everything, no personal devices, no automation, no instrumentation. In the end a wireless umbrella captured all data, provided mobile voice and security and real time monitoring of all the work activities as well as the electronics collection, storage, and use of petabytes of data.
  13. Here are the steps to developing a Strategy for a Digital Transformation using Balanced Scorecard
