Digital transformation

Changing how the business works using technology. Mostly not a technology problem.

What it means

Digital transformation means redesigning processes, products or customer experience around digital capability rather than adding software to existing processes.

Why it matters

Most failures are organisational rather than technical: no owner, no changed process, and staff who were told rather than involved.

What it looks like in practice

Pick one process, map it, redesign it, then choose the tool. Choosing the tool first is the standard order and the standard reason it fails.\n\nMeasure the before and after in time or cost, not in features delivered.

What to watch out for

Buying a platform to solve a process problem. The platform will faithfully reproduce the mess at greater cost.

Where to get proper advice

Your local Growth Hub, which often funds digital adoption advice. Reference customers of any vendor, spoken to directly.
