To get a digital transformation right you have to address the people, structure, process and technology aspects.
The people aspect succeeds or fails based on the working culture. The values, mindset, principles, behaviours and leadership style define the operating culture of an organization. We help organizations craft this culture and then train and coach its leaders and teams in operationalizing this culture. |
”An organization’s processes and systems can only be as simple or as complex as its structure” – Conway’s law.
85% of digital transformations have failed to date and the root cause is that most of them have only addressed the processes and the technology and failed to adequately address the organisation structure that is the underlying basis of any process or operating model. Designing the right organization structure is a critical success factor for any digital transformation. |
Structuring the way work flows through the organization structure is key to optimal productivity and time to market.
Throughput, cycle time and utilization are three key measures of productivity that help leaders fine tune the flow and get the most value for spend. Effective governance, prioritization and planning models ensure transparency and focus, making sure the teams are working on the most important business priorities. |
Funding and accounting models drive operational behaviour and impact productivity significantly.
Budgeting, forecasting, actuals, Capex, Opex, COGS, and chargebacks can create a complex web of confusion and busy work, that detract the teams for what they should be focusing on. Procurement policies and practices are vital to attracting and retaining the best partner and supplier talent in a timely and cost-effective manner. |
We help organizations design their Strategy formulation and cascade model which is crucial to organizational alignment and focus. The way Objectives, strategy and key results (OsKRs) flow down from the top and get feedback from the bottom is key to execution success.
We also help leaders design and implement their management system, operational metrics and cadence, that is aligned with the OsKRs to provide execution success. Control without controlling is the key to success. |
Setting up and driving engineering excellence with DevSecOps, APIs and AI is a cornerstone of digital transformations.
Most organizations have a brown-field legacy landscape and transforming that to a modern, loosely coupled tightly aligned, service-based architecture, with the use AI is what we help companies do. A mixture of standards, tools, environments, training and discipline are essential for success. We have the templates, standards and guidelines to get you started from day one. |
Nothing can be more important in today’s world than ensuring that teams ‘shift left’ and build security and compliance in from the very start.
Designing this into the operating model and ensuring that the right checks and balances are built into the framework such that compliance and security is met while productivity is not slowed down. Design, training, and coaching help establish this crucial piece of the puzzle to ensure risks are managed, compliance requirements are met, and cyber security is addressed. |
