Foundational ingredients are required
Flour, sugar, fat and eggs. Four simple ingredients that are pretty much essential to baking a cake of any kind. Just like this, good digital transformation solutions have similar foundational elements in common. A strong digital strategy needs to address infrastructure, information management and governance, communication, collaboration and insight. The extent to which each of these elements is addressed will vary depending on the individual needs of an organisation.
Recipes can be altered to suit your personal taste or needs
Cakes come in all different shapes, sizes and flavours. Whether a seven-layer German chocolate cake is your thing, or a gluten-free lemon slice is more your speed, you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for. These principles follow through into a digital transformation strategy. Your strategy can be designed or altered to meet your personal requirements. When deciding on your solution plan you can make it as plain’ or decorated’ as you like to suit both your needs and your budget. There is the option to start with a plain’ solution and add your decoration’ later, when doing so is more feasible. Just like baking, digital transformation is a process that can be broken down into smaller, more manageable stages.
Your method is dependent on your circumstances
Anyone who’s tried to follow a simple baking video only to fail spectacularly knows that just because that’s what someone else is doing doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Maybe your oven is different, or your cake pan is larger. You need to alter your method to fit your circumstances. With regards to business, factors such as company size or working locations are going to impact your digital transformation solution in much the same way. If we treated every organisation the same way, we’d end up with a lot of baking fails’!
It works better with an experienced baker
There’s a reason we love to stare in patisserie windows, letting our mouths water. It looks incredible! Chances are we could never do anything like that. An experienced hand can often make things we couldn’t even have imagined. An experienced solutions consultant can guide you through the digital transformation process, spotting potential pitfalls and areas of great potential. An experienced consultant will also be realistic about what can be achieved within your time and budget, understanding the key factors of your vision and focusing on these rather than setting undeliverable expectations.
When you get it right, it should feel simple
This is pretty much what it says on the tin, a good process -be it digital transformation or cake baking -shouldn’t cause endless stress or burden, it should feel simple and most importantly you should feel as if you have a tangible, pleasing end result. A successful digital solution should not only feel simple to undergo but should make your processes feel simpler too.
