Study Notes
Five Domains of Digital Transformation
- Five key domains for digital transformation are: Customers, Competition, Data, Innovation, and Value.
- New rules of the game impact these domains.
Customers: From Passive to Dynamic Networks
- Customers are less loyal and more active.
- Customers can participate in the innovation process.
- Brands are no longer solely defined by the company; customers co-create them.
- Dell emphasizes direct customer input for improvement and innovation.
Reconsidering Strategic Assumptions About Customers
From | To |
---|---|
Customers are mass market | Customers are dynamic networks |
Communications are broadcast to customers | Communications are two-way |
Firm is the key influencer | Customers are the key influencer |
Marketing to persuade purchase | Marketing to inspire purchase, loyalty, advocacy |
One-way value flows | Reciprocal value flows |
Economics of (firm) scale | Economics of (customer) value |
Competition
- Different players use different strategies.
- Old competitive advantages are disappearing.
- Competition is changing.
Different Players With Different Strategies
- Digital giants (Amazon, Facebook, Google)
- Industry incumbents must adapt or risk failing.
- Tech entrepreneurs constantly innovate and disrupt markets.
Old Sources of Competitive Advantage Are Largely Disappearing
- Scale is easier and cheaper in the digital environment (platform scalability).
- Transaction costs are decreasing (e.g., financial services).
- Digital technology facilitates disintegration and specialization (new entrants).
Change in Competition
- Companies partner with competitors to create value for customers (coopetition).
- Example: Volkswagen, BMW, and Daimler consortium for mapping data.
- Companies face competition from different sectors and business models.
- Example: Amazon in retail, Uber in automotive.
- Competition shifts from products to platforms.
New Capabilities Enabled by the Technology
- New data capabilities.
- Increased storage (cloud computing).
- Increased processing power.
- Faster communication.
- Data as a strategic asset.
- Data is widely used for operations, innovation, decision-making, and risk reduction.
- Example: Stitch Fix (innovation) and Lufthansa (risk reduction).
- New opportunities to transform business.
- Quickly creating new value with digital technologies and innovation.
Reconsidering Strategic Assumptions About Data
From | To |
---|---|
Data is expensive to generate in firm | Data is continuously generated everywhere |
Challenge of data is storing and managing it | Challenge is turning data into valuable info |
Firms make use only of structured data | Unstructured data is more usable, valuable |
Data is managed in operational silos | Value data comes from connecting it across silos |
Data is a tool for optimizing processes | Data is a key asset for value creation |
Speeding Up the Innovation Process
- Digital technologies enable rapid testing and real-time experiments.
- Greater ability to explore innovative ideas (e.g., Facebook).
- Social media fosters innovation by involving both customers and employees.
- Learning from failures is easier.
New Value Proposition
- Value propositions adapt to changing market needs.
- Digital technologies open innovative value proposition opportunities.
- Example: Stitch Fix providing personal style to a mass market.
Ford Case Study
- The case study analyzes triggers for Ford to invest in mobility services.
- The analysis uses the D. Rogers framework.
Main Challenges Companies Face When Reconsidering Their Data Capabilities
- Organizational challenges of data (changing business processes).
- Finding people with the right technical skill levels.
- Bridging data silos (unifying data).
- Sharing data with partners.
- Cybersecurity considerations, privacy, and consumer attitudes.
Takeaways
- The D. Rogers framework is helpful for analyzing new opportunities and obstacles related to digital strategy.
- Competitive companies understand new rules (change in competition and new customer expectations and behaviors), and adapt their strategies.
- Digital technologies contribute to new strategies
Conclusion
- The study outlines the domains of digital technology transformation.
- Companies must adapt their strategies to survive and thrive in the digital age.
