Know Your Position
What stage of digital transformation are you currently in?
Digital transformation is a journey across three stages: digitization, digitalization, and finally, digital transformation. Successful digital transformation requires business to gradually move from the first stage to the last, without rushing hastily to the final stage.
Stage 1 : Digitization
- Conversion of analog (manual) information into digital format, so it can be manipulated, stored, and transmitted easily.
- Example: Conversion of paper forms into electronic documents.
Stage 2 : Digitalization
- Leveraging digital technologies and digitized data to enable or improve business processes.
- Example: Using a marketing website, software, or mobile app to stay connected with customers and employees.
Stage 3 : Digital transformation
- Application of new and emerging technologies to make fundamental changes across all aspects of business, by driving sustainable innovation and creative growth.
- Influences the entire enterprise - from branding to operations, including what the business offers, how they interact with customers, and how they operate.
- Example: Gleaning insights from customer data, behavioral patterns, and purchase history to recommend personalized products or services.
Knowing where you are in the DX journey is the first step to achieving successful digital transformation.
