The Digital Transition: A Structured Approach to Digital Transformation
Manoj Kumar Dobbala [4] | Lingolu Mani Shankar Srinivas
Abstract: Digital transformation has become imperative for organizations to remain competitive in today's digital era.[1] While many recognize the need to transform, many fail due to a lack of strategic planning and an ad hoc approach.[2] This paper proposes a structured methodology for developing an impactful digital transformation roadmap. The proposed approach involves five key phases:[3] 1) Assessing the organization's current digital maturity and landscape through surveys, workshops, and documentation reviews.[4] 2) Defining a clear digital vision and goals in alignment with business objectives through executive interviews and workshops.[5] 3) Identifying priority digital initiatives across technology, customer experience, operations etc. based on impact, dependencies, and resource requirements.[6] 4) Creating a multi-year digital roadmap detailing the initiatives, timelines, interdependencies and change management requirements.[7] 5) Establishing governance structures and metrics to ensure ongoing tracking, resource allocation and benefits realization.[8] A review of existing digital transformation frameworks and case studies informed the development of this structured approach.[9] Tools and templates are also provided to operationalize each phase of roadmap development.[10] When executed systematically through the defined phases, this methodology aims to equip organizations with a strategy to successfully navigate the digital transition.[11] Future work includes validation of the approach through case applications and refinement based on lessons learned.[12].
