The true digital transformation in LIME domain
Avoid Digital-Washing: How to Recognize a True Digital Transformation in LIME domain
Digital transformation is a term that has clearly taken its place in the current business lexicon. But what does it really mean? Does it represent a true opportunity? Is it nothing more than a way for consultants and vendors to sell more of their wares?
Like many catchphrases, digital transformation can mean many things to many people. So what makes for a true digital transformation?
Every successful digital transformation has the following three elements:
- A new customer experience
Most companies want to deliver an incredible customer experience. A digital transformation involves an extreme makeover of the experience or, more likely, a new experience entirely.
For example, the ability to buy and focus on the production experience instead of the production unit itself.
- A new business model
Over the last two decades, companies have invested heavily in optimizing their existing business processes, resulting in substantial productivity improvements. In the digital economy, existing business models are subject to rapid displacement, disruption, and, in extreme cases, outright destruction.
Recently there has been a successful business model shift from owning production plant to operating as-a-Service it with the accompanying change in pricing from per transaction to a monthly fee.
- A new value creation model
The traditional R&D process attempts to develop and launch products with minimal cost and time to market while meeting perceived customer requirements. In a very real sense, it ignores the interests of all stakeholders except the organization and its customers. Co-creation, on the other hand, focuses on the interests of all stakeholders (suppliers, distributors, employees, the general public) and how they interact with one another. In doing so, the emphasis is to maximize the size of the overall market for the ecosystem at large, not just the share of value captured by the organization.
In the industry industry, co-creation is rare; people are creating their own plant and production units but they are not capturing economic value.
