    Study Notes

    Five Domains of Digital Transformation

    • Five key domains for digital transformation are: customers, competition, data, innovation, and value.
    • Companies face new rules of the game in the digital era.

    Customers: From Passive to Dynamic Networks

    • Customers are now less loyal and more connected, actively participating in the innovation process.
    • Brand definition is no longer solely determined by the company; customers actively co-create it.
    • Dell's approach emphasizes direct customer feedback for innovation.

    Reconsidering Strategic Assumptions About Customers

    • From: Customers are mass market, communications are broadcast, firm is the key influencer, marketing is about persuasion, one-way value flows, economics of firm scale.
    • To: Customers are dynamic networks, communications are two-way, customers are key influencers, marketing inspires purchase and loyalty, reciprocal value flows, economics of customer value.

    Competition

    • Different players with diverse strategies exist in the digital age.
    • Old sources of competitive advantage often disappear, such as scaling up (easy in digital) and transactional costs (decreasing).
    • Digital technologies enable companies to disintegrate and specialize more easily, leading to new competitors.

    Different Players with Different Strategies

    • Digital giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google are powerful players.
    • Industry incumbents need to adapt or risk becoming irrelevant.
    • Tech entrepreneurs continuously innovate to disrupt the market.

    Old Sources of Competitive Advantage

    • Scaling in the digital environment is relatively easy and costless.
    • Transactional costs are decreasing.
    • Vertical integration is made easier and allows for specialization by digital technology (new entrants).

    Change in Competition

    • Companies can partner with competitors for mutual benefits (coopetition), creating value for customers.
    • Examples include consortia (Volkswagen, BMW, and Daimler), and companies encroaching from different sectors (Amazon in retail; Uber in autos).
    • Competition is shifting from products to platforms.

    New Capabilities Enabled by Technology

    • New data capabilities: increased storage (cloud computing), processing power, and communication speed.
    • Data as a strategic asset: changing from operation-focused to data-driven innovation, improved decision-making, and reduced risks (Example: Stitch Fix, Lufthansa).

    Reconsidering Strategic Assumptions About Data

    • From: Data is expensive to generate within a company, firms manage data in silos.
    • To: Data is continuously generated everywhere, firms need to turn data into valuable information, unstructured data is increasingly valuable, value data is about connecting data across silos, data is a critical intangible asset.

    Data as a Strategic Asset

    • Data is used to focus on operations, innovate, and create value for customers (e.g., Stitch Fix).
    • Companies use data to improve their decision-making capabilities.
    • Data is used to reduce risks and optimize business processes (e.g., Lufthansa).

    Big Data Use in Lufthansa

    • Lufthansa transitioned from using structured, transactional data to incorporating unstructured and semi-structured data from social media and other sources.
    • The company wanted to understand and leverage customer preferences and behavior for more effective process optimization.

    Different Use Cases

    • Case Study 1: Personalizing Customer Experiences
    • Case Study 2: Handling Irregular Situations
    • Case Study 3: Predicting delays (e.g., flights)
    • Case Study 4: Predictive and Preventive Maintenance

    Main Challenges Companies Face

    • Organizational changes: adjusting business processes.
    • Finding knowledgeable staff
    • Bridging data silos to improve data management.
    • Sharing data with partners (what data should be shared).
    • Concerns about cybersecurity, privacy, and consumer attitudes.

    New Opportunities to Transform Business

    • Speeding up the innovation process: quick testing in real-time, more innovative ideas (e.g., Facebook).
    • Social media empowers innovation; both customers and employees are involved in the process.
    • Firms can learn from failures more easily.
    • New Value Propositions: value propositions must adjust and evolve with changing market needs.

    Speeding up the Innovation Process

    • Digital technologies enable quick testing and real-time experiments.
    • The capability to explore more innovative ideas and features.
    • Social media empowers wider input and engagement in the innovation process.
    • Reducing learning curves through easier observation of failures.

    New Value Proposition

    • Value propositions must adapt to evolving market needs.
    • Digital technologies offer an opportunity for introducing innovative value propositions.
    • Stitch Fix exemplifies adapting to market demands by providing personal style to a larger market.

    Ford Case Study (20 minutes)

    • Analyze Ford's triggers to invest in mobility services using the D. Rogers framework.
