00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,600
Our research shows that 

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,000
one of the six key factors 

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,560
that can flip the odds of success 

4
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,880
for digital transformations 

5
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,960
from 30% to 80% 

6
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,280
is ensuring effective 

7
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,440
monitoring of progress 

8
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,480
towards defined outcomes. 

9
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,080
BCG research reveals 

10
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,920
that companies that successfully track

11
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,520
the transformation's progress against clear goals 

12
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,280
are over 70% more likely 

13
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,760
to succeed in their digital transformation efforts 

14
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,680
than those that do not. 

15
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,960
Quantifying the expected value of transformation outcomes 

16
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,240
is the crucial first step for ensuring

17
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,760
the effort is targeting areas of real value. 

18
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Tracking progress is the next step, 

19
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,760
and its importance cannot be overstated.

20
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,200
A staggering 75% of successful transformations 

21
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,600
have effective monitoring, 

22
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,920
which allows for about 50%

23
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,200
improvement in dynamic adjustment of financing 

24
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,960
throughout the transformation. 

25
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,120
Our research also shows 

26
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,320
that having a strong central entity,

27
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,440
such as a Transformation Management Office,

28
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,160
improves monitoring by almost 30%.

29
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,280
But what else does it take 

30
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,080
to make monitoring effective? 

31
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,760
Based on our empirical research, 

32
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,800
we have developed a set of Yes/No questions

33
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,240
that define the key drivers behind effective monitoring 

34
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,480
and can help you assess 

35
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,600
what your organization 

36
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,000
already has in place. 

37
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,240
These key drivers are:

38
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,760
having a trusted reporting 

39
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,760
entity with a clear activist mandate,

40
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:21,560
metrics linked to the strategic intent,

41
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,840
accountability for delivery, 

42
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,360
and a single source of truth for data.

43
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,240
And BCG has a structured approach

44
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,360
to help you answer 

45
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,400
"Yes" to these defining questions. 

46
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,240
There are a few other 

47
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,240
considerations to keep in mind 

48
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,720
regarding progress monitoring 

49
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,120
as you proceed with a digital 

50
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,720
transformation effort:

51
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Set up your initiatives for success.

52
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,560
Ensure that initiatives are specific enough

53
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440
to assign and track owners, 

54
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,080
and that they have clear business cases 

55
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,400
with a solid understanding 

56
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,600
of the starting point 

57
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,480
aligned with all 

58
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,080
relevant stakeholders. 

59
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Minimize the burden on the organization. 

60
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Be simple in terms of what you track,

61
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,080
and where possible,

62
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,800
automate the monitoring process.

63
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,600
A simple process that minimizes 

64
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,920
tracking effort and gets it done

65
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,920
is better than the perfect one that doesn't.

66
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Empower the data owners.

67
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Initiative owners must own 

68
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,600
all information and actively call out 

69
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,800
impediments to reaching goals. 

70
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,680
Focus on resolving issues. 

71
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,520
Tracking is a means for pushing 

72
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,840
the transformation forward. 

73
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,440
Ensure there is full transparency 

74
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,560
on what needs to be fixed, 

75
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,280
and view flagging of roadblocks as requests for help,

76
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,880
not causes for reprimand. 

77
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Be hypervigilant. 

78
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280
Value monitoring is a game of stamina.

79
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Be strict about following 

80
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,600
the tracking processes 

81
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,400
and keep leadership attention on them, 

82
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,720
especially when facing 

83
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,320
early complications. 

84
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,320
As one of our senior clients puts it:
