What are the stages that companies need to go through before digital transformation?
The current digital transformation for enterprises is not a question of whether to do it or not, but a question of how to do it. If you don’t do it and wait for death, doing it may not be courting death. Yesterday, I talked about the three pits of digital transformation of enterprises, despising pits, general pits, and blind boxes. The pit also proposes three strategies for enterprises to do digital transformation : system design, combined with the status quo, and dynamic adjustment .
Before talking about the three strategies, let’s make it clear that enterprises need to go through the stages of digital transformation. Each stage has its own special reasons and problems to be solved.
Stage 1 is the digital online of the enterprise. At this stage, the state of the enterprise is "knowing", which improves the efficiency of enterprise information flow, thereby saving costs and producing two or three times the benefits. For example, the original lagging financial situation can be checked in real time. What an individual is doing is a black box, and now it can be very clear. The reason why this stage exists is that it is impossible to make a big improvement from the original track at once, because the awareness of personnel is not in place, so the main goal of this stage is to cultivate awareness of personnel and cultivate a new work thinking mode .
Stage 2 is the digital reengineering of the enterprise. Centering on the concept of the boss and the CEO, design the digital information process together with the business person in charge, analyze the internal operation of the enterprise, propose new business plans and help the digital plan to be implemented, which can help the enterprise to establish digital perception and decision-making. The model is similar to the neural response system of an enterprise. From bosses to employees, they are all neural units with processing mechanisms. The enterprise goes from “knowing” to “reacting”. At this time, the enterprise is a digital enterprise, and its efficiency should be more than 10 times. promote. This stage is the process from germination of consciousness, to the real application of digital, focusing on inner transformation.
Stage 3 is the digital ecology of enterprises. From the perspective of the upstream and downstream supply chains of the industry, enterprises can digitally empower the entire upstream and downstream industries. On the one hand, it strengthens its own industry advantages and control, and on the other hand, it improves the efficiency of the entire upstream and downstream industries.
The three stages are also " self -cultivation, aligning the family, governing the country and pacifying the world " .
