Get a digitisation strategy that creates cohesion between business goals and digital measures
Which digital measures are essential to competitiveness in your industry? How can you give your clients and partners a better, faster and cheaper service? How can you integrate digital solutions in your products and services? Globeteam’s management consultants can help your company create a clear digitisation strategy that brings cohesion to your business goals and digital measures. We can also ensure that your IT department and business are closely integrated, working with the same purpose and focus.
Do you need a digitisation strategy?
The large array of digital solutions available today provide many opportunities to create business-related advantages. Many organisations lose sight of the big picture however, and do not establish a digitisation strategy. Without this, there is no clear cohesion between digital measures and business and no clear picture of how the IT department creates business value. Instead, IT resources are used to maintain old solutions that are not flexible or user-friendly, and this poses challenges to the business as well as the IT department.
For example, the feeling within the business might be:
- The IT department does not establish the solutions that the market, clients, partners or employees demand and need.
- The IT department is not innovative compared with its competitors and doesn’t create digital solutions to provide the organisation with brand new opportunities or competitive advantages. Or that give public organisations larger flexibility and/or a better citizen service.
- The IT department does not have a long-term strategy for what they want, but instead focuses on day-to-day tasks or IT solutions that do not create value.
- The IT department is isolated and not proactive, it does not drive business development forward.
At the same time, the IT department might often find that:
- The business has unrealistic expectations as to what is possible.
- The business does not set aside resources for the implementation of new solutions, but “just think they happen by themselves”.
- The business is not interested in IT and digitisation and does not understand business-related opportunities. There are limited points of contact and no “common language”.
In short, when this happens the dissatisfaction in the IT department as well as in the business is wide-ranging, meaning digital opportunities are not explored in an optimum way, and this ends up hurting everybody.
Use digital opportunities to achieve business-related advantages
Many organisations want to improve this issue but do not have the necessary tools to gain clarity on the situation, get a digitisation strategy, and establish an organisational setup to support the process and make it possible.
At Globeteam, we can help you uncover to what extent your organisation uses the digital opportunities open to them today. Together we can then establish a new common digitisation strategy that describes how to move forward with digital measures, allowing your IT organisation to create visible business value.
The process behind a digitisation strategy
A digitisation strategy ensures that you achieve a direct connection between the organisation’s strategic goals and digital measures – and therefore how these specific measures can improve your earnings, enhance the client experience and increase customer satisfaction.
The process typically starts with an analysis stage where:
- The organisation’s current maturity, business-related, organisational and technical situation is assessed.
- The organisation’s most important business processes and strategic data are mapped.
- Competitiveness and market conditions within the industry are mapped and digital differentiators are identified.
Based on this, the future digital ambition for the organisation is determined, making it possible to support the most important business-related and strategic focus areas for the coming years.
Finally, we outline:
- The most important business-related, organisational and technical digitisation projects that support the digital ambition.
- A roadmap for the implementation with schedules, budget etc.
Our experience ensures that you can take it easy
We typically carry out our analysis with a business, organisational and technical focus, but the specific content is adapted to the individual organisation’s needs and aims. The digitisation strategy is developed in close collaboration with key resources in IT and in the rest of the organisation, and our process is based on a clear and well-tested method.
