How to Drive the Digital Transformation of your Business?
Digital transformation is the evolution of business enterprises to fully engage and optimize their operations and functioning to incorporate and fully make use of the potential of digital technology and their influence on society. Digital transformation is industry independent to a large extent and helps implement the business goals, resolve challenges, and increase customer traffic.
Digital transformation includes
- Digital representation of the company for greater visibility through websites and apps.
- Digital marketing as an important part of the business activities and approach.
- Understanding the digital behaviour and pattern of customers as they increasingly become ‘digital and mobile’ savvy.
- Digitization of information (flows) and business processes.
- Digital experiments including innovation labs and new digital products.
Now that we have covered what digital transformation really mean, we’ll get into what is involved in digital transformation. Digital is ubiquitous and it affects many aspects of the customer behaviour as well as company operations. An essential feature of digital transformation is that business processes and models are interconnected and interdependent on each activity of the organization.
