Business transformation involves so much more than a digital program of work; strategic collaboration between business and technical minds lies at the heart of the process. At Unipro, we often encounter businesses racing ahead with transformation plans driven by trends or a purely technical approach. These broad-brush strategies, like moving to the cloud or adopting Agile, can lead to overkill solutions and wasted resources.
Common board-level decisions include investing in all-encompassing platforms like Salesforce or Microsoft or integrating AI in customer service. At the same time, these may become valuable strategies. In nearly every situation, a company needs more than your standard end-to-end digital transformation offering; they really need business transformation; it’s more foundational, as Simon Sinek advises, “Start with Why.”
Identifying the heart of the business problem is crucial. Pause, reflect, and ask important questions to save significant costs. Capture details of both the ‘Why’ and the ‘What’ through business analysis or service design. We have seen an increase in the number of companies that have wasted money due to poorly considered transformation programs.
With 25 years of experience, Unipro provides solutions using our 6-Step Digital Blueprint framework. This starts with a consultative approach to understanding pains, needs, strategy, and vision, guiding the solution approach for various markets such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, retail, or industrial.
The resulting applications leverage data, optimise and automate operations, drive digital growth, and enhance digital experiences while modernising core technology and embracing new technologies.
In summary, for effective business transformation and growth, take your time, ask the right questions, delve into the details upfront, and start with a clear understanding of “Why.” Identify the specifics of the challenge before determining the best-fit solution. This approach makes it easier to justify, gain approval, and implement without encountering many common obstacles in transformative programs. If you prefer a step-by-step approach, consider our 6-step digital framework.
Resulting in happy stakeholders and a better version of your company because of a transformative program that started with one simple question.
