The document discusses the need for organizations to undergo digital transformation in order to remain relevant. It argues that digital strategies can no longer be marketing-centric and must have business-wide impact. Organizations that do not fundamentally transform their business models and operations through digital means risk becoming irrelevant. The document outlines several themes related to digital transformation, including harnessing customer service and crowd sourcing, adopting new revenue models, empowering employees through mobile technology, and leveraging the internet of things and big data. It emphasizes that digital transformation is an imperative rather than a choice and that those who do not innovate will fall behind.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION MAY BE THOUGHT AS THE THIRD STAGE OF EMBRACING
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES:
DIGITAL COMPETENCE -> DIGITAL LITERACY -> DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION.
THE LATTER STAGE MEANS THAT DIGITAL USAGES INHERENTLY ENABLE NEW TYPES
OF INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY IN A PARTICULAR DOMAIN, RATHER THAN SIMPLY
ENHANCE AND SUPPORT THE TRADITIONAL

68. DIGITAL MUST MOVE FROM A MARKETING FUNCTION
TO A BUSINESS-WIDE IMPERATIVE
Daring to be Digital | Adrian Porter, Head of Strategic Research, Precedent 2013

69. WHILST SOME MAY APPOINT A CHIEF DIGITAL OFFICER,
MOST MUST CHANGE FROM WITHIN. A DIGITAL HERO IS REQUIRED

70. MOST EXECUTIVES DON’T USE SOCIAL NETWORKS OR SMART PHONES.
MANY DON’T EVEN READ THEIR OWN EMAIL.
SO TRYING TO CONVINCE DECISION MAKERS THAT THIS IS A WAR
FOUGHT ON THE BATTLEGROUND OF TECHNOLOGY IS IN AND OF
ITSELF FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE.

THEY MAY TO BE THE ONES TO DRIVE THE CHANGE.

71. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION MUST INTERLINK
WITH ALL PARTS OF THE BUSINESS
Digital Transformation | Adrian Porter, Head of Strategic Research, Precedent 2013

72. AND TO GATHER SUPPORT IT MUST
DELIVER TO ALL PARTS OF THE BUSINESS
Digital Transformation | Adrian Porter, Head of Strategic Research, Precedent 2013

73. GENERATE IDEAS AND LOOK FOR THOSE IDEAS
THAT IMPACT ACROSS ORGANISATIONAL GOALS

74. AVOID STARTING WITH A HUGE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
INSTEAD LOOK FOR SMALL CHANGES THAT CAN DELIVER BIG IMPACTS

75. WE NEED TO DELIVER RECOGNISABLE AND MEASUREABLE BUSINESS VALUE EVERY
THREE TO FIVE MONTHS. THAT IS IMPERITIVE, OTHERWISE WE LOSE CREDIBILITY
AND TRUST.

77. SO LET’S SAY YOU ARE OUR HERO…
WHAT’S THE JOURNEY GOING TO FEEL LIKE?

78. A HERO’S JOURNEY
CHANGING THE WAY BUSINESSES CREATE EXPERIENCES
INCEPTION
You see the need for change.
You feel as if more can be done.
You’re not sure its your responsibility and the
opportunity is bigger than you envisioned.
You question your calling.
Perhaps you refuse it.
Then you meet others who will empower
you…stand by you through change.
What’s the Future of Business | Brian Solis, 2013

79. A HERO’S JOURNEY
CHANGING THE WAY BUSINESSES CREATE EXPERIENCES
TRIBULATION
Change is met with hardship.
It’s unavoidable.
You start to feel the discomfort from leaving
your comfort zone.
Obstacles will arise; budget constraints,
politics, scepticism, tunnel vision, blatant
ignorance.
Stay true stay focused.
Your customers and employees are anxious
for you to succeed.
What’s the Future of Business | Brian Solis, 2013

80. A HERO’S JOURNEY
CHANGING THE WAY BUSINESSES CREATE EXPERIENCES
TRANSFORMATION
Buzz and excitement permeates the halls of
your business.
Employees hear about what you are trying to
do, they enquire how to be part of it or how
soon they’ll see the fruits of your labour.
To hold consensus takes frameworks and
processes. This sets the stage for how people,
teams, philosophies, and technology will
support the transformation.
It’s always darkest before dawn. There will be
pushback, more and more challenges.
Keep the team strong, you’ve come too far for
that.
What’s the Future of Business | Brian Solis, 2013

81. A HERO’S JOURNEY
CHANGING THE WAY BUSINESSES CREATE EXPERIENCES
REALISATION
To call this the last stage is misleading.
Transformation is continual, it becomes part
of your business model.
Here you learn and adapt accordingly.
You lift your head and notice that the people
inside and outside of the organisation are
noticing change.
Change is now constant.
Take this moment to revel in your journey.
Since you are the hero in this story, your
journey is just beginning.
What’s the Future of Business | Brian Solis, 2013

82. SO OVER TO YOU ONE LAST TIME…
How will you start your Hero’s Journey?

83. THE INTERNET IS AMONG THE FEW THINGS HUMANS HAVE BUILT THAT THEY
DON’T TRULY UNDERSTAND. IT IS THE LARGEST EXPERIMENT INVOLVING
ANARCHY IN HISTORY.
AS GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY CONTINUES ITS UNPRECEDENTED ADVANCE. MANY
OLD INSTITUTIONS AND HIERACHIES WILL HAVE TO ADAPT OR RISK BECOMING
OBSOLETE.
THE STUGGLES WE SEE TODAY IN MANY BUSINESSES, ARE EXAMPLES OF THE
DRAMATIC SHIFT FOR SOCIETY THAT LIES AHEAD.
AND WE’VE BARELY LEFT THE STARTING BLOCKS.
Eric Schmidt & Jared Cohen | The New Digital Age, 2013

84. WE SHOULD ALL BE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE WILL ALL HAVE
TO SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIVES THERE.
