Digital transformation is a term used to describe a cultural change that requires organizations to continually challenge the status quo, experiment, and get comfortable with failure.

Digital transformation is imperative for all businesses, from the small to the enterprise. A business may take on digital transformation for several reasons. But by far, the most likely reason is that they have to: It’s a survival issue.

The benefits of digital transformation are clear. By improving efficiency and reducing costs, businesses can free up resources that can be invested in other areas. Digital transformation can also help businesses to tap into new markets and reach new customer segments. And perhaps most importantly, it can help organizations stay ahead of the competition. 

Studies have shown that the digital transformation industry is expected to reach a market value of approximately $3.3 trillion with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 23% by 2025. 

Of course, talking about digital transformation and actually doing it are worlds apart. Experts in this area believe it’s crucial for organizations to have a plan and then follow through. It’s generally believed that the first step should be coming to terms with organizational goals and objectives.

Every business has a different approach to digital transformation and has different outcome expectations from the process. Therefore, one of the most important steps of the digital transformation process is deciding your business’s short-term and long-term goals and objectives.

Your business can determine its expectations by analyzing the current state of your organization in terms of strategic gaps, existing technology, day-to-day operational challenges, and current customer expectation and satisfaction rates. You then have to determine how technology can be incorporated in these areas.

Your business must also take into account certain business processes that may require optimization as well as various challenges that your business may face while undergoing digital transformation.

Follow this step up by analyzing available capacity and resources. Before undergoing digital transformation processes, your business must assess factors such as current performance capacity, available financial and human resources, and available technology. You should also take into account the costs of the technology you need and if your company has the purchasing power to acquire them.

The final two steps should focus on implementing a digital transformation strategy and then effectively communicating your digital transformation strategy to employees and stakeholders is just as important as the strategy itself.
