With the advent of digital technologies, society is reshaping itself
radically. In the last decade, digital technologies have brought
fundamental changes in the industry and business environment. The
holistic socioeconomic and industrial changes are a result of
general-purpose technology aspects of digital transformation, which
are rare and have inherent capabilities of self-transformation to
bring long-term benefits across the entire global business
environment. After the steam engine, electric generator and printing
press, the recent development of digital transformation has created an
opportunity with extensive sustainable and incremental influence for
disruption and renovation. However, the most important difference
between digital transformation and the previous general-purpose
technologies such as steam engines and electric generators is the pace
of technology’s penetration across the globe. To cope with the
accelerated speed of global digitization, the digital transformation
process should be accepted, adopted and adapted across society and
business utilizing a multi-dimensional strategy. This book illustrates
a strategic structure that covers Digital Challenges for Industries,
Applicability for Digital Transformation, Digital Transformation
Framework, People and Organization Structure, Capability Delivery
Activities and Life Cycle Benefits. How will businesses embrace
digital transformation? How will organizations formulate a digital
transformation strategy? How will they invest in digital technologies?
To answer these questions, a strategic structure is created which can
provide guidelines to businesses to create a framework for digital
transformation that includes strategy, process, governance and
funding. The exponential growth in data capacity (storage, process and
communication) due to rapid digitalization has created infinite
opportunities and different dimensions to businesses. Digital
platforms have enabled alternative business models by deconstructing
the traditional value chains. Agile concepts driven by design thinking
have brought innovative perspectives with an environment of boundless
disruption. To run a company with sustainability and manage
disruptions more consciously, the adoption of a digital platform with
an appropriate strategy is the only viable option. Digital
transformation (DX) goals and strategies should be in line with a
company’s business objectives. The strategic structure explained in
the book is a global framework that can be adopted by any profit or
nonprofit organization. Like any other transformational process,
digital transformation has created structural tension between "old"
and "new". In this tension, employees play a large role and their
clarity of thought regarding the transformation process is of
paramount interest. To overcome this tension, companies need to orient
as learning organizations, which will provide opportunities for growth
in an ambidextrous environment, embraced with a digital ecosystem. The
book explains how the structural tension between old and new can be
mitigated by effectively involving all stakeholders in the
transformation process.
