1
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,160
Our research shows that

2
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,200
one of the six key factors that flip

3
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,520
the odds of success

4
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,480
for digital transformations

5
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:35,960
from 30% to 80%

6
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,080
is having a business-led modular

7
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,640
technology and data platform.

8
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,920
BCG research reveals that companies

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,160
that have a modular, flexible,

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,000
interoperable technology

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,040
and data platform

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,480
aligned with business

13
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,280
needs and goals are 33%

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,440
 more likely to succeed

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,240
in their digital transformation efforts

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,960
than those that do not.

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,840
In fact, amongst companies

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,160
that managed to pull off

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,160
a successful digital transformation,

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,280
a staggering 75%

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,760
had such a digital and data

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,840
platform in place.

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,920
To help you assess your readiness

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,160
to make the necessary tech upgrades

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,360
and allocate funds accordingly,

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,000
we have developed a set of

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Yes/No questions about three key

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,680
aspects of tech design and enablement.

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,960
Business-led and fit for purpose.

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,360
This means that the tech

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,840
transformation is grounded

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,200
in real business value,

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,920
supports the overall digital strategy,

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,960
and provides transparency

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,680
on the impact of products, processes,

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,920
and the organization.

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,000
Designed for frequent upgrades.

38
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,920
Using iterative deployment methods

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,520
to accelerate deployment

40
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,560
time for features required

41
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,080
by the use cases

42
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,280
during the transformation

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,640
and allow flexibility

44
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,440
for catering to future needs.

45
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,520
Designed emphasizing

46
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,360
IT architecture best practices.

47
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,720
This drives discipline

48
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,560
while building new capabilities

49
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,280
and minimizes delivery

50
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,400
risk for the strategic use cases

51
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,920
in the digital transformation.

52
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,360
Here are a few other practices to follow

53
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,160
as you progress with your digital

54
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,280
transformation effort:

55
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Decouple the digital transformation

56
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,040
from your core system transformation

57
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,760
and run the two in parallel.

58
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,440
A gradual, outcome driven approach

59
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,840
to implementing a modern digital

60
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,680
and data platform

61
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,880
is the fastest,

62
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,520
most cost-effective path to value.

63
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Liberate data from core systems,

64
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,360
because data is a valuable

65
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,240
enterprise asset that is defined,

66
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,200
modeled, and owned by the business.

67
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,640
IT should build data platforms

68
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,520
that democratize the use of data

69
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,600
throughout the business.

70
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Continually build and refine

71
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,200
new capabilities in your people.

72
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,640
Actively look to take ownership. 

73
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,200
In-source differentiating capabilities

74
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,720
and have them work with common goals

75
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,280
next to the front line.

76
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,600
Use iterative deployment methods.

77
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,680
Increase speed and agility

78
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:57,960
by using new ways

79
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,960
of working across technology

80
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,000
and business IT engagement.

81
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,520
Focus on speed to value.

82
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,240
Be bold in shelving projects that cannot launch

83
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,480
or create value quickly,

84
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,400
as they will otherwise be outdated

85
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,480
by the time of launch.

86
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Finally, as one of our senior clients puts it:
