In essence, digital transformation is the process of increasing the ability of the organization to utilize the digital medium for its own purposes. A digital transformation is a profound process of analyzing and adapting the business model, work processes, and organizational culture to a development and innovation strategy. The process relates to the development of technology and the competitive environment in a circular and ongoing manner. Creating new business opportunities, creating competitive differentiation, and harnessing the digital power of the organization to deal with possible futures are its purposes.
To successfully lead a digital transformation in an organization, one needs to have a deep understanding of:
- The business and field in which it operates
- Digital technologies and possible business models
- Organizational changes (including aspects of culture and leadership)
- Good knowledge of consulting processes (which is a discipline in itself)
Which organizations need digital transformation?
Every organization or a unit within an organization set up before the digital force became central to our personal and business lives (such as banks, insurance companies, service providers, industry, security, governments, municipal authorities, etc.) must undergo a digital transformation process. It is not enough for the organization to adopt new technologies and use them in its day-to-day activities. It must verify that the entire process is assimilated and practiced throughout the organization.
What does a digital transformation consultant do?
To be a digital transformation consultant means to professionally guide management, in the overall process of digital transformation:
- Analyze the state of the company, the competitive environment, and the stakeholders
- Analyze and select the appropriate digital tools for the organization
- Construction of an action plan
- Implementation and control of such a plan
What is the difference between an internal and external consultant?
The internal consulting is done by a senior manager within the organization, who is familiar with the digital world. A manager who can call the management for action, and lead the internal organizational process.
The external consulting is done by an expert in digital transformation who has been invited by the management to assist in leading the process. The nature of the organization, the managing team, and the organizational culture will determine whether internal or external consulting is needed.
