Digital Transformation Success

Discover the key to digital transformation success in this comprehensive guide. In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, companies are promised innovative business models, enhanced customer experiences, and productivity improvements through digital initiatives. However, it's disheartening that 70% of these endeavors fail to meet their goals, resulting in lost investments and frustrated stakeholders.

The root cause of these failures often lies in the lack of alignment across organizations. Achieving alignment is crucial, encompassing both vertical alignment - which involves aligning goals from the CEO down to even low-level single contributors - and horizontal alignment - which enables seamless collaboration across functional areas. To address this challenge, the book introduces Process Inventory, a powerful framework that not only establishes a common language but also aligns resources throughout the organization, driving a new level of operating efficiency and agility necessary to thrive in this digital era.

This comprehensive guide delves beyond guiding principles, providing readers with detailed methods, modeling techniques, operating models, and real-world case studies. By leveraging the Process Inventory framework, organizations can enhance existing disciplines like Change Management, Risk Management, and Operational Excellence, enabling effective digital technology design and propelling them into the forefront of the digital age.
