Digital Transformation

 

The current hype topic: Digital transformation has actually always existed. The typewriter was replaced by personal computers. Information systems permeate almost all areas of life. Spatial and temporal dependencies disappear. Information is omnipresent. Online offerings are increasingly gaining market share, across industries and in a sudden manner. Viewed soberly, we are ‘only’ in another stage of evolution. But this stage of digital transformation no longer stops at any industry. Learned industry boundaries are blurring. Startups and companies from foreign industries are invading previous sovereign territories. Additional business fields are emerging. Every company is now challenged. The motto of the hour is: ‘adapt or die’. But how does adapting work and in what order?

 

Essential components of digital transformation, which also define the maturity level of the company, are:

  • Definition of the digital vision based on the corporate strategy
  • Setting up a cross-departmental digital project team
  • Stringent mobile-first or even mobile-only approach
  • Introduction of agile software development
  • Targeted use of cloud, big data, and data analysis
  • Collaborative work – internal and external
  • Networked offerings (Internet of Things)

 

Our experts are happy to support you in your digital transformation, which has become a ‘must-have’ and without which you can quickly lose touch. Because nowadays:

 

No transformation without digital transformation!

Agile Companies /
High Performing Workflows

 

The optimal alignment of business processes, organizational structures, and IT development to customer needs represents the backbone of any transformation. Agile companies act competency-based (e.g., Sony) and can thus react much more flexibly and quickly when competitive behavior changes, when new trends emerge, or when legislative changes are imminent. Furthermore, they can act faster when new business areas are to be entered or when an eco-system with external partners is to be built to create extended offerings.

 

Agile companies are characterized by, among other things:

  • Strong unified leadership with agreement at C-level and first management level on both corporate and digital strategy and vision
  • Customer-centered analysis and design processes
  • Agile software development (e.g., based on Scrum)
  • Use of collaboration platforms

The frequently observed silo mentality with its paralyzing effect on the entire organization – especially in larger organizations – can be drastically reduced through these approaches. ‘Encrusted’ structures can break open again.

 

Who transforms first, wins. Flip the switch. Make your company agile.
