Business Transformation
Ray Wang of Constellation Research has some great insight about digital transformation. Here are the seven rules:
- Digital disruption is more than just a technology shift. It’s about transforming business models and how organizations engage.
- We move from selling products and services to keeping brand promises.
- We serve 5 generations of customers & workers, by digital proficiency, not by age.
- Data is the foundation of digital business. Every touch point, every click, every digital exhaust is relevant insight.
- If 20 % of your revenue is not an insight stream by 2020, you won’t have a digital biz model.
- You need more than a Chief Digital Officer to infuse digital into your organization. You need a broad bench of Digital CXO’s.
- We must invest in digital artisans.
