Transformation vs. intervention is a great issue to look at. I hear a lot of advocates for transformation.

“CEOs, Boards and shareholders demand innovative technology solutions to maintain and increase the organization’s market competitiveness in the digital experience world. The question is how to best deliver these solutions.”

• Where should we focus? “This is where we must consider the material question of whether to transform or intervene.”
• What is the cost of transformation? “If we go with transformation, we will apply material time and effort to developing, building and delivering a solution.”  The reality is that transformation might be cost prohibitive in terms of people and money.
• Is intervention the solution? “But if we embrace an interventionist approach, the organizational transformation time burden can be reduced to deliver a faster solution, thus mitigating the delivery time-to-value ratio.”
