Is your business ready to transform?

Like it or not; ready or not, every enterprise is now a player in the digital economy.

This is an economy tied to:

• Consumer expectations reshaped by the ubiquitous connectivity enabled by smart devices, cheap data and easy access to apps and platforms; and
• Organisations automating and re-engineering processes, and redefining their business models as the competitive landscape shifts.

All organisational change involves responding to one or both of these conditions. That makes all organisational change today digital change.

Change that pays.

Our premise is that organisations have never had so many opportunities to create new value thanks to the connective power of digital technology. However, too many organisations are adopting traditional top-down change based on restructuring and driving efficiencies. The result can be over-budget, under-achieving projects that leave people feeling caught between the successes of the past and the uncertainty of the future.

When that happens, the change effort can stall – not because people are resistant to change, but because the case for change becomes foggy. As the benefits driving a major change effort can take a long time to be realised, it can feel more effective to apply legacy processes and systems that have been proven in the past. All the while, the market will keep moving ahead, making the gap between the potential and actual performance even wider.

The organisations adept at harnessing the learning and experience that develop during a transition are those that find change pays.
