Digital transformation<\/a> has been a popular business concept for years. But for your digital transformation to be successful, you need a plan that goes beyond buzzwords to create a workable strategy. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2023, global enterprise spending on digital transformation is estimated to reach $2.3 trillion. While that scope of investment makes clear digital transformation is an essential concept, it\u2019s become a timely one, as well. \u201cThe pandemic accelerated many organizations\u2019 digital transformations by several years,\u201d said Beau Smithback, founder and CEO of Envision IT. \u201cMany leaders faced an existential crisis and pivoted to implement new ways of doing business and interacting with stakeholders. Organizations
that haven\u2019t advanced their digital transformation capabilities just lost three years to their competition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the ubiquity of digital transformation can make it seem more like the king of buzzwords than a real path to success. This is because many companies only engage with the \u201cdigital\u201d side by spending more money on their existing technology stack, while neglecting the \u201ctransformation\u201d \u2014 fundamentally evolving how they do business using new tools, processes, and thinking. This could explain why digital transformation success rates are \u201cdismally low\u201d according to Harvard Business Review. Your digital
transformation can be different if you embrace its potential to truly transform how work gets done. In this article, we\u2019ll explore how to create a digital transformation strategy that fits your vision, illustrate leading practices for adopting transformational technology, and navigate the risks impeding digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Digital Transformation Requires a Big Vision <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t use the word \u201ctransformation\u201d for small changes. That in mind, a successful digital transformation always begins with a big vision. Start with questions like \u201cHow is my organization going to change its entire industry and make a remarkable impact?\u201d or \u201cHow can our company set an example with its social and environmental responsibilities?\u201d Once you\u2019ve landed on a sweeping vision, you\u2019re ready to explore how technology can empower you to make those aspirations a reality. Projects like updating your data center strategy or replacing your sales\u2019 teams aging laptops are good goals (and might be part of your digital transformation), but don\u2019t mistake technological tweaks for true transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key part of a successful digital transformation is engaging IT as a true partner in innovation. Ask your IT leaders what technologies would most empower employees and empower innovation, then dedicate the time and budget to make their ideas happen. Too often IT teams are bogged down supporting legacy technology, and you may have underutilized assets and unused app subscriptions you\u2019re still paying for. Instead, think of IT as an investment portfolio \u2014 you\u2019re making targeted investments that can deliver transformational returns. Some investments may pay off big and others may not, but strategically rebalancing your IT portfolio for transformation maximizes your chance of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading Practices for Your Digital Transformation Strategy <\/strong>Once you have a vision for what your digital transformation can achieve, it\u2019s time to develop a strategy to make it happen. Being a true digital business means moving beyond legacy processes and reimagining how technology can augment every aspect of your work. Here are leading practices to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build ownership for digital transformation across your organization. The success of your digital transformation depends less on adopting the ideal technologies and more on gaining buy-in from everyone in your organization as evidenced by their evolved behavior. When you replace older apps or alter common processes, you need a plan to communicate the meaning and impact of the change across business units. Find people who can serve as tech champions to help teammates master the new tools, and your digital transformation is much more likely to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use analytics to better understand how different areas of your business are performing. When you set benchmarks for your digital transformation, having a clear picture of your operations is crucial. Analytics and business intelligence platforms drive observability and insights by measuring the efficiencies of processes and teams across your organization. Instead of relying on gut feelings or anecdotes, analytics ideally give you answers to questions you never thought to ask. This shows where your business most needs to transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automate everyday tasks to free up time for innovative work. Every time your employees get a notification, they\u2019re at risk of breaking their
flow and getting distracted. By integrating machine learning into your workspace, you can let the workspace learn from employee work habits
and automate routine tasks like calendar RSVPs and expense approvals. This reduces the number of notifications that can disrupt employee
attention, helping them focus on tasks with more strategic importance \u2014 and future AI advancements will only strengthen these capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Balance Risks and Opportunities in Digital Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like any major project, your digital transformation has unique risks you must recognize and navigate. Potential hurdles can include failing to
gain true buy-in across all departments, adopting and retaining flawed technology that doesn\u2019t adapt to your long-term needs, and simply
making the wrong choices about how your business should transform. However, in our fast-paced business landscape the biggest risk of all is sticking with the status quo as competitors evolve ahead of you. Balancing risk and opportunity is vital to any successful business initiative, and digital transformation is no exception. It can help to embrace the mentality of a disruptive startup that has to identify and take big worthwhile risks in order to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is being aware of the ever-evolving risks and threats your digital transformation faces so you can continuously mitigate them. Significantly advancing your cybersecurity and data privacy capabilities is an essential element of your digital transformation. With roughly 26,000 cyberattacks per day, your organization must be prepared to protect your network, distributed workforce, applications, and content from malicious actors. And with the rise of far-reaching ransomware attacks like that suffered by the Colonial Pipeline Company, you want to have backup storage, air-gapped critical services, and well-tested business continuity solutions to ensure resiliency during disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace the Possibilities of Digital Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital transformation is only a buzzword if we fail to recognize its potential. By adopting a bold technology strategy that transforms
how you do business, you can take a giant leap forward in how your customers, shareholders, and employees realize the true promise
of your organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
