Digital Transformation \u2013 very few understand it, but everyone wants it!<\/em><\/p>\n Most enterprises have made attempts at adopting digital transformation. They indulge in a mad race without knowing what the course will entail, without recceing the turns and obstacles in the path. As a result of this, instead of observing a digital disruption of their processes, enterprises have disrupted the whole order and created a catastrophic mess for themselves.<\/p>\n 84% failure rate<\/a> is extremely concerning, and at some level it shows how little grasp organizations have of digital transformation. They are blindly following the buzzword, maybe, only to stay in the competition. But, with the outcome in hand, it shows that rather than competing for success, organizations have entered a frenzy of stumble-over-fall-on-your-face failure.<\/p>\n A recent Harvey Nash\/KPMG CIO survey results further bared the face of this industry-wide sensation. Only 41% of companies<\/a> have an enterprise-wide digital transformation strategy, whereas only 18% of them consider their digital technology as very effective. The survey results bring focus on two important aspects that need to be considered for identifying the areas of improvement \u2013 one, the apprehension regarding adoption of the digital wave, and two, the gap between the adoption and successful implementation, ultimately leading to failure.<\/p>\n The shift from CIO-success to customer-satisfaction<\/strong><\/p>\n Steve Jobs once said, \u201cYou have got to start with the customer experience, and work back toward the technology. Not the other way around. \u201c<\/p>\n Customers are at the heart of the concept of digital transformation. Organizations are expected to utilize their data bank to yield the highest level of customer satisfaction. They need to embark on their digital quest with a data-driven, customer-centric approach. Digital transformation is not limited to revitalization of systems and processes only. It demands a complete makeover of all the elements involved in a business model. Individuals are expected to embrace a new set of responsibilities and play a refreshed role in the growth of their organization.<\/p>\n The mines that may blast the whole strategy to rubble<\/strong><\/p>\n The disaster-struck digital transformation strategies, accounting for the failed 84%, lacked many nuances whose absence consequently led organizations to a downward spiral.<\/p>\n Ways to sweep the mine and claim victory on the field<\/strong><\/p>\n The modern, agile IT environment has imposed the need for continuous innovation and improvement. The failures of past digital transformation efforts have expounded a few lessons that should be kept in mind while devising a digital strategy for the future.<\/p>\n To determine if you are on the right path or you are heading to a trap<\/strong><\/p>\n Digital transformation is still a relatively new concept across industries. Since there is a lack of established standards to measure the success of their digital transformation strategy, organizations may often feel that they are proceeding blindfolded to an unknown territory.<\/p>\n However, there are a few aspects against which organizations can measure and evaluate their standing such as agility with the market, scalability of the digital capabilities, adaptability to the implemented changes, openness to learn continually, and control and management of risks and vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n Implementing an effective digital quality assurance at the core of the digital transformation efforts can make a world of difference. With proper QA and digital testing, it becomes easier to analyze the weak points and chart the success of the strategy.<\/p>\n To Conclude<\/strong><\/p>\n Digital transformation necessitates evolution of a company right to its very core. The company ecosphere must be changed, infrastructurally as well as culturally. Active involvement of the top management becomes critical in realizing the enterprise-wide change as they may prove instrumental in eradicating the fear of change among the employees. With their focus centered on customer engagement, organizations should get their employees as well as end users onboard for the disruptive digital transformation.<\/p>\n Cigniti\u2019s\u00a0Digital Assurance solutions<\/a>\u00a0address the multifaceted needs of digital testing.
