Roadmap for Successful Innovative Digital
Transformation Approaches for Organizations
During the pandemic, 90 of CEOs accelerate their
digital initiatives, where most cannot describe
their overall strategy and development beyond the
fact that they have made a technological
investment. Establishing an adaptive businessone
that can prosper in the digital economyis
becoming increasingly important. If CEOs cannot
demonstrate that their digital transformation has
resulted in new business benefits or agility,
they have not truly transformed. This division
between business and technology strategy
highlights a more significant phenomenon. Many
company executives recognize that technology
should not drive corporate strategy. However, all
too frequently, that knowledge is overshadowed
by the need to ask, "What should our AI strategy
be?" or to react to events by making a series of
tech-first, one-time expenditures. The desire to
conceptualize in terms of different technology
can be intense. While many businesses have a
digital strategy, they need a consistent
vocabulary to strategize across departments,
making digital transformation and addressing
related opportunities and risks difficult.
Digital transformation may enable C-suite
executives to hold tech-adjacent and
tech-agnostic conversations that transcend any
one technology and go to the heart of their
processes and culture, as well as how people
work and connect.

• By adopting a digital transformation, businesses
  can begin to
• Remove human behavioural and structural
  impediments
• Everything in a company is interrelated. By
  communicating more effectively, leaders across
  functions may speak conceptually about shared
  requirements, prevent duplicating investments,
  address emerging risks, and modify procedures at
  scale.
• Plan for more than one technology
• Platforms, capabilities, and initiatives
  frequently include the secure collaboration of
  several digital and physical technologies. As
  these technologies come together, they become
  more significant than the sum of their parts,
  bringing new capabilities and value.
• Advance into the future
• Today's breakthrough technology will be obsolete
  tomorrow. Allows executives to think flexibly
  across a matrix of business and technological
  demands without relying on any single technology.
• Increase your strategic business worth by
  demonstrating your ability to adjust and win
  This technique assists businesses in better
  aligning and executing their business plan to
  achieve the intended outcomes of advantage and
  adaptability of the company, individuals, and
  technology.

• Five digital transformation imperatives
• We identified five business outcomes that
  technology influences and allows that can aid in
  developing digital transformation. By thinking
  thematically across these five digital
  imperatives experience, insights, platforms,
  connectivity, and integrityorganizations can
  communicate across functions in a way that
  prioritizes strategy over technology, resulting
  in initiatives that deliver a more modular,
  flexible technology core that delivers better
  transformation and strategic value. In addition,
  these business-techno principles can serve as
  guardrails to help executives avoid slipping
  into the trap of a technology-led discourse. They
  may also assist in developing digital strategies
  tied to technological realities and workforce
  concerns. In essence, they serve as a link for
  coordinated talks between business and
  technology strategists and workforce and
  operations executives.
• Experiences
• Optimizes interactions with people, whether they
  be customers, employees, or other stakeholders in
  the ecosystem.
• Insights
• Evaluates the data, analysis, operational model,
  and personnel necessary to support corporate
  strategies.
• Platforms
• Platforms are concerned with the placement and
  administration of information within an
  organization or its network.
• Connectivity
• It involves the flow of information across
  platforms, experiences, insights, and networking
  with other companies and ecosystems.

• 5. Integrity
• A cyber-minded culture focuses on enhancing
  resilience, security, ethical technology, and
  trust across all internal and external-facing
  corporate systems and processes to handle
  constantly developing threats.
• Implementing the imperatives, Drive change by
  aligning strategy
• C-suite Digital Transformation Discussion Guide
• Begin by evaluating how that broad goal ripples
  across company, technology, and labour
  considerations
• What is the enterprise goal for digital
  transformation? Willingness to change?
  Possibility of victory? Both?
• Ask the following questions on each of the five
  digital imperatives
• What strategic business aims best support our
  company's goal(s)?
• In terms of purpose, function, security, and
  risk, how does technology need to support this
  business goal?
• How will those business, technological, or
  security decisions affect operations and the
  workforce?
• In turn, how may workforce strategies and
  capabilities influence the transformation
  strategy in a way that considers substantial
  shifts across leadership teams, operational
  models, ecosystems, and the strategy-aligned
  workforce?
• Creating value through the five imperatives
• While our suggested paradigm is novel, the
  complex reality of implementing an integrated,
  cross- functional approach to digital
  transformation is different. However, creating
  such an integrated strategy is critical. We
  discovered that the technologies in our survey
  aligned with these imperatives and were rated as
  the top five most important to enable digital
  transformation when we analyzed data from 3260
  global business and public-sector leaders who
  responded to Sun Technologies 2021 Digital
  Transformation Executive Survey. Furthermore, we
  discovered that the more digital imperatives
  these firms implemented, the greater their
  digital maturity and profitability.
• Furthermore, more digitally integrated firms
  outperformed in terms of strategic objectives,
  flexibility to adjust, and ability to win.
