Digital Transformation Strategy Issues

The seven decisions that matter in a digital transformation: A CEO’s guide to reinvention
By Peter Dahlström, Driek Desmet, and Marc Singer, McKinsey & Co.
February 2017
https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/digital-mckinsey/our-insights/the-seven-decisions-that-matter-in-a-digital-transformation

The critical decisions occur in the four phases of a successful digital transformation program:

Discovering the ambition for the business based on where value is migrating
Designing a transformation program that targets profitable customer journeys
Delivering the change through an ecosystem of partners
De-risking the transformation process to maximize the chances of success

In each decision, the CEO has a role, from modeling, visualizing and approving the new system to efforts to bring in new behavior in organization that is in tune with the change in strategy.

Important Decisions
1: Where the business should go
2: Who will lead the effort
3: How to ‘sell’ the vision to key stakeholders
4: Where to position the firm within the digital ecosystem
5: How to decide during the transformation
6: How to allocate funds rapidly and dynamically
7: What to do when
