Everybody’s talking about Digital Transformation these days.
Whether it’s upstart digital competitors muscling in on your patch, changing buyer habits or Covid-19, Digital Transformation is right up there at the top of every C-Level Executive’s To Do list.
But what exactly is Digital Transformation? What does it actually mean?
We like Greg Verdino’s definition: “Digital transformation closes the gap between what digital customers already expect and what analog businesses actually deliver.”
That’s it in a nutshell - it’s about closing that gap between the expectations of savvy, sophisticated buyers and your ability to deliver the ‘traditional’ products or services they actually want.
Digital Transformation is accelerating the rate of change.
A study by McKinsey showed that in 1958 the average age of a company on the S&P 500 was 61 years.
That’s down to 18 years by 2020 & they estimate that by 2027 some 75% of companies currently listed will have disappeared.
Whether via merger, bankruptcies or increasingly due to an inability to react to the new Digital realities this failure to evolve and adapt to the new Digital reality is becoming a matter of life or death for many businesses.
But Digital is not just about Enterprise level businesses - it affects businesses of all sizes in all sectors. No one is immune.
So where’s the starting point?
