Digital Transformation Map Example
2. Strategic goal.
Transforming traditional businesses towards new models through the technological digitalization of
processes.
Quantifiable goals and objectives 6-12 months (Zoom-IN)
Improve CSAT to 85.5% via process digitalization
Implement Data Driven strategy for sales. 2 projects implemented with machine learning
Quantifiable goals and objectives 10+ years (Zoom-OUT)
Convert company into a full data driven business decision company including business
intelligence tools for data analytics like machine learning, big data, and neural networks
Use of collaborative AI tools

These strategic goals have a transformational vision, supported by the sustained commitment of the
executives and senior management of the company. Digital training will be required for leaders.
Our Vision
Be the best option to our customers and employees, providing the best experience to our customers and
converting to a fully digital company end-to-end
3. Readiness
Individual Readiness
Current readiness from people in the company area in early stages
Skills and knowledge: People will require training to adopt new technology like automations, and
data analytics models. People are able to work with SAAS platforms like Teams, Office 365 and
others
Institutional readiness
Evaluated in a medium level, considering the following:
No research projects implemented, but some development projects in process
Value generation: No patents in place, but software property of the company (like GO2C or Order
tracking tool) are in construction
New Initiatives to adopt new technologies are viable, but approvals cycle is too large
Infrastructure in information technologies permeated into the different areas of the organization in
an integrated way.
Setting up a digital unit independently of the organization with cross-functional people that pool specific
types of expertise and promote new ways of working essential for digital success, such as agile project
development, test-and-learn methods that speed progress while keeping the focus on customers.
A digital unit can also help attract and retain those specialists, while offering them freedom from
incumbents’ organizational constraints and the support of like-minded colleagues. They need to be
empowered to make a swift impact, which often means giving them authority to make their own decisions.
Goals:
Lead digital projects end to end, preparing and getting data to create business case and get
project approvals.
Team focused on specific projects
Promoting and inspiring the creation of lean processes.
Promoting a culture of innovation and continuous learning
Experimenting and starting with key projects and prototyping.
Skills as well as systems will need to be boosted. The quest for talent might establish partnerships with
software providers.
A huge internal training job will be needed too. Business leaders will need to understand IT’s strategic
value, for example top business managers must take a three-day training module to help them
understand and capture IT’s strategic value (see “Modernizing IT for a strategic role”).
It will be important to help all employees rethink the way they work, as the end result of a digital
transformation is the establishment of a company-wide agile operating model.
Focus on the employee and the collaborator, in order to make him understand what is really happening in
the digital transformation, and how it influences his/her daily life. This is where benefits and
challenges are revealed, as well as the change implications that the transformation will bring. The
involvement of all employees is fundamental since the early stages of any change.
Project selection
Initiatives that are strategically important, pay back quickly, and reduce complexity are the ones to
prioritize. This almost always means looking for ways to cut costs, also need to be flexible.
To win early support, we should start with projects that offer potential for significant rewards with
manageable risk. Such projects include customer services activities and the redesign of the claims
process, from the moment a customer needs to file a claim to the moment of reimbursement. Customers
will be delighted, cost savings can be as high as 40 percent, and effectiveness, measured in return on
investment, can rise by as much as five percentage points.
5. Challenges
Resistance to change
little capacity to capitalize a large amount of data generated in the company (big data- analytics)
obsolete or closed current systems.
6. Scaling up
At the 18-month point should be making good progress. We should have a handful of initiatives up and
running and be starting to capture value. The thoughtful sequencing of subsequent initiatives is key to
this. In addition, close attention will need to be paid to building more capabilities. And to reap the full
rewards of a transformation, eventually an entirely new operating model will be required.
