Where to start
Quite often during the summit the question was raised where you as a company can start with becoming a digital company. How to leverage with the latest technology trends, changing business models and business processes, and how to engage with your customers and users? The answer to this question is you start with solution ideation making use of ‘Design Thinking’ and bring innovative ideas to life via rapid prototyping. After successful prototyping, you can start with creating, testing and refining the business case for ROI and strategic value. With a positive business case, you can start scaling to productive use based on a technology roadmap that identifies dependencies and remediates risks. Success patterns for doing this are: bringing business and IT together, start small but always think in end-to-end processes, go for superior user experience and superior added value, and the need of executive sponsorship. Becoming a digital company is a journey, continuous loop and infinite process.
