SCAN THE ENVIRONMENT

The world is changing around you, but some of your stakeholders may not see it. Start with a broad sweep of your environment, considering social, technological, economic, environmental, and political factors, and then narrow to your customers, competitors, and contesters.

IDENTIFY PUNCTUATED SHIFTS

Identify which opportunities and threats are most relevant to your organization. Then, note the contrast between what "was" or "is" and what "will be" so stakeholders see the trajectory of change.

IDENTIFY HIGH-PERFORMING EXEMPLARS

Home in on solid examples to help stakeholders make the connection between these abstract ideas and what’s being put into practice. Which competitors or industry stand-outs are recognized for their innovations or best practices? How do these examples apply directly to your business?

EVALUATE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

To gain traction on broader strategic change, you may first need to tackle imperatives with nearer-term consequences. Are negative trends or patterns affecting company performance? If so, focus here before you ask for broader change.

CHANNEL YOUR CUSTOMER

Nothing is quite as influential as the voice of the customer. Surface these insights, in the form of direct customer feedback and other qualitative approaches that allow you to uncover latent customer needs.

EXPLORE JOBS TO BE DONE

Harvard Business School professor and author Clayton Christensen’s “jobs to be done” methodology can help you better understand the real reason your customers buy your products or services. Look beyond conventional applications to identify potential new use cases and revenue streams.

DEFINE A “TO-BE” VISION

In steps 1 — 7, you began to create a clear vision for change. Now, it’s time to bring your future-state vision to life. Define the big, bold end state as the galvanizing vision for change.

Digital Strategy - Evaluate the 'as-is' reality

EVALUATE THE “AS-IS” REALITY

Once you’ve defined the “to-be,” take a close look at the “as-is.” Identify current capabilities, and then assess the relative maturity against the scope of the vision. Do a gap analysis to identify where you need to lift capability maturity.

IDENTIFY A BEACHHEAD

DEFINE CROSS-FUNCTIONAL WORK PLAN

Executing across silos is one of the more challenging aspects of change leadership — but it’s also the place where you can gain real traction. Translate projects, plans and priorities into a cross-functional work plan to ensure every department and team member clearly understands the part they play in realizing the vision.

SECURE AND MERCHANDISE EARLY WINS

Change doesn’t happen by itself. Effective change leaders secure their victories by organizing every effort around the stated goal, and then actively promoting each win to build support, political capital, and the funding to expand. Build momentum with your small successes, and you’ll ensure your digital vision becomes a reality.
