Digital Transformation Methodology intro description

 

In recent years, there have been increasing instances of cross-border threats, including climate change, international trade disputes, global health emergencies and war. Many aspects of the business are disrupted. Such situations require large-scale preparedness and agility for the companies of any size, and the resilience of the companies is crucial. The ability to cope with the sudden changes are rooted in the digital readiness of the companies. Countless studies suggest that the resilience and agility of an organization is directly proportional to the degree of digitization and the status of digital transformation.

 

A systematic self-assessment helps companies to have the top-level evaluation of its digital readiness. Moreover, comparison with fellow industry members orient business management to evaluate the status of their organization.

 

Our Digital Readiness Assessment integrates various dimensions, which are vital to draw a full picture of the company.

 

 

Information technology (IT)

Without the right IT background, it is not possible to proceed with digital transformation. Within our wide range of conditions and opportunities, the focus is on the application and dissemination of tools and data within the organization.

When completing the questionnaire, we would like to ask you, as decision-maker, to provide your answers regarding the current state of your business. The survey involves an automated assessment process that helps with self-assessment compared to a benchmark.

The questionnaire is divided into six main chapters, with groups of questions focusing on the main areas of operation of the company. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes.

After completing the questionnaire, we prepare a standard evaluation report with the results of all six dimensions, and a total readiness index derived of the questions. All values are compared to the benchmark of fellow SMEs from the manufacturing industry.

 

Supporting processes

By supporting processes, we mean the corporate activities that ensure the smooth running of the company's value-creating processes. These activities are closely linked to each other and to the value-creating processes. Information on the operation and coherence of process elements is asked in our survey.

 

Value creation processes

The aim of all corporate activities is to serve its customers and consumers while maintaining profitability. In our approach, value-creating processes are understood as a controlled chain of activities in which the company's product or service is created, which has value for its customers and generates the company's revenue.

 

Customer experience

The customer experience is defined as the known and controllable processes between the customer and the product / brand, which is intended to serve a positive impression in the customer. We examine this diverse area in terms of the use of digital technology.

 

Company culture

Digital transformation is a significant change in the lives of all businesses. According to professionals, only those companies whose approach and behavior provide sufficient flexibility and the ability to change can be successful in the digital transformation. This includes the company's approach to digital technologies, its assessment of digital knowledge and skills, and its attitude to development proposals and innovation.

 

Strategy

Digital transformation is more than just developing existing processes or products using digital technology - it actually offers an opportunity to apply a whole new business model. Therefore, incorporating it into your business is of strategic importance. In the survey, we examine the strategic thinking of your business, the human resources available to accommodate digital transformation, and the company’s data use activities.
