Everyday Digital Transformation

Lots of buzz around digital

Digital strategy, chief digital officers, digital teams, digital first, digital strategy, digital

innovation, digital governance…

Risks and opportunities for disruption

A set of technologies?

Or something more?

It has changed consumer behaviour

Have higher expectations

Expect better customer service

Why haven’t theyreplied yet?

They have a voice to complain

Don’t fly British Airways, there customer service is

They have more choice

Brian Solis

Not just an IT or Marketing issue

The entire organisation needs to adapt

Not doing so has led to some big failures

Birmingham Council £2.5 million (£2m over budget)

Department of Trade and Industry £11.78 per visit

Healthcare.gov $319 million. Set to rise to $677 million.

Bureaucracies are honed by the past and almost never can they deal effectively with the future.

Leroy Hood

Digital needs to be as ubiquitous as electricity

Transformation is a culture not a project. It doesn’t just finish one day.
