Recent global events leading to uncertain times, including a dramatic drop in oil demand have shaken many industries to their core. Many companies will be fighting for their lives or, at least, a share of turbulent markets. Transformation can be critical in that fight.
So, the question quickly becomes, what should you be doing?
While the answer to that question must be unique to each enterprise, there are some clear guidelines that apply to companies based on their digital maturity. To help you understand these guidelines, we are introducing the Transformation Journey Research Series™, a step-by-step set of Research Notes drilling into:
The types of Transformation being executed
We all know the examples: Apple, Uber, and Amazon. These companies disrupted their markets by redefining the fundamental business model of their industry. Cell phones became small computers that offer dynamic customer experiences. Taxis and taxi companies were replaced by fleets of independently owned cars linked by technology. First personal computers, and now those smart phones, became the dominant merchandising and retail environment.
Not every industry can be disrupted easily. “Uberization” is not coming to every industry in the short and medium term.
Evaluate the potential for industry disruption with Note #1.
Transformation, whether in the form of any number of digital initiatives like smart manufacturing, resilient supply chain or business continuity, enables new manufacturing and business models. The new models drive improved performance, lower manufacturing costs, and increase revenues.
This podcast kickoffs a series on the Transformation Journey Research Series to help you understand the importance of transformation for global operations.
Critical to successful Transformation is the ability to assess your status and maturity level at each of these four steps individually. For each maturity level, we provide three self-assessment questions to help determine if you have achieved this level of maturity.
Assess your maturity level with the help of the Note #2.
Listen to our new episode where Fred Thomas and Eric Green discuss a critical aspect to successful Transformation: the ability to assess your status and maturity level at each of these four steps individually.
