Download or read book Visualising Business Transformation written by Jonathan Whelan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business transformation typically involves a wide range of visualisation techniques, from the templates and diagrams used by managers to make better strategic choices, to the experience maps used by designers to understand customer needs, the technical models used by architects to propose possible solutions, and the pictorial representations used by change managers to engage stakeholder groups in dialogue. Up until now these approaches have always been dealt with in isolation, in the literature as well as in practice. This is surprising, because although they can look very different, and tend to be produced by distinct groups of people, they are all modelling different aspects of the same thing. Visualising Business Transformation draws them together for the first time into a coherent whole, so that readers from any background can expand their repertoire and understand the context and rationale for each technique across the transformation lifecycle. The book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers involved in change, whether that is by creating change models themselves (strategists, architects, designers, engineers, business analysts, developers, illustrators, graphic facilitators, etc.), interpreting and using them (sponsors, business change managers, portfolio/programme/project managers, communicators, change champions, etc.), or supporting those involved in change indirectly (trainers, coaches, mentors, higher education establishments and professional training facilities).

Download or read book Dual Transformation written by Scott D. Anthony and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game-changing disruptions will likely unfold on your watch. Be ready. In Dual Transformation, Scott Anthony, Clark Gilbert, and Mark Johnson propose a practical and sustainable approach to one of the greatest challenges facing leaders today: transforming your business in the face of imminent disruption. Dual Transformation shows you how your company can come out of a market shift stronger and more profitable, because the threat of disruption is also the greatest opportunity a leadership team will ever face. Disruptive change opens a window of opportunity to create massive new markets. It is the moment when a market also-ran can become a market leader. It is the moment when business legacies are created. That moment starts with the core dual transformation framework: Transformation A: Repositioning today’s business to maximize its resilience, such as how Adobe boldly shifted from selling packaged software to providing software as a service. Transformation B: Creating a new growth engine, such as how Amazon became the world’s largest provider of cloud computing services. Capabilities link: Fighting unfairly by taking advantage of difficult-to-replicate assets without succumbing to the “sucking sound of the core.” Anthony, Gilbert, and Johnson also address the characteristics leaders must embrace: courage, clarity, curiosity, and conviction. Without them, dual transformation efforts can founder. Building on lessons from diverse companies, such as Adobe, Manila Water, and Netflix, and a case study from Gilbert’s firsthand experience transforming his own media and publishing company, Dual Transformation will guide executives through the journey of creating the next version of themselves, allowing them to own the future rather than be disrupted by it.

Download or read book Leading Digital written by George Westerman and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Become a Digital Master—No Matter What Business You’re In If you think the phrase “going digital” is only relevant for industries like tech, media, and entertainment—think again. In fact, mobile, analytics, social media, sensors, and cloud computing have already fundamentally changed the entire business landscape as we know it—including your industry. The problem is that most accounts of digital in business focus on Silicon Valley stars and tech start-ups. But what about the other 90-plus percent of the economy? In Leading Digital, authors George Westerman, Didier Bonnet, and Andrew McAfee highlight how large companies in traditional industries—from finance to manufacturing to pharmaceuticals—are using digital to gain strategic advantage. They illuminate the principles and practices that lead to successful digital transformation. Based on a study of more than four hundred global firms, including Asian Paints, Burberry, Caesars Entertainment, Codelco, Lloyds Banking Group, Nike, and Pernod Ricard, the book shows what it takes to become a Digital Master. It explains successful transformation in a clear, two-part framework: where to invest in digital capabilities, and how to lead the transformation. Within these parts, you’ll learn: • How to engage better with your customers • How to digitally enhance operations • How to create a digital vision • How to govern your digital activities The book also includes an extensive step-by-step transformation playbook for leaders to follow. Leading Digital is the must-have guide to help your organization survive and thrive in the new, digitally powered, global economy.

Download or read book Designed for Digital written by Jeanne W. Ross and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Forbes's Top Ten Technology Books of the Year How to redesign ‘big, old’ companies for digital success—featuring a survey of 300+ business leaders and 30+ global organizations, including Amazon, Uber, LEGO, Toyota North America, Philips, and USAA. Most established companies have deployed such digital technologies as the cloud, mobile apps, the internet of things, and artificial intelligence. But few established companies are designed for digital. This book offers an essential guide for retooling organizations for digital success through 5 key building blocks: • Shared Customer Insights • Operational Backbone • Digital Platform • Accountability Framework • External Developer Platform In the digital economy, rapid pace of change in technology capabilities and customer desires means that business strategy must be fluid. As a result, business design has become a critical management responsibility. Effective business design enables a company to quickly pivot in response to new competitive threats and opportunities. Most leaders today, however, rely on organizational structure to implement strategy, unaware that structure inhibits, rather than enables, agility. In companies that are designed for digital, people, processes, data, and technology are synchronized to identify and deliver innovative customer solutions—and redefine strategy. Digital design, not strategy, is what separates winners from losers in the digital economy. Designed for Digital offers practical advice on digital transformation, with examples that include Amazon, BNY Mellon, DBS Bank, LEGO, Philips, Schneider Electric, USAA, and many other global organizations. Drawing on 5 years of research and in-depth case studies, the book is an essential guide for companies that want to disrupt rather than be disrupted in the new digital landscape.

Download or read book Dare written by Jorj-Mădălin Mihailovici and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you curious to find out the story of a company that went from a static platform to winning the Best Business Transformation Project in the World?Why another book about business transformation? The answer is simple: because it is needed. We have seen business transformation projects fail and being abandoned and forgotten by those who initiated them. In some business communities, these projects are perceived as an 'inevitable evil'. Therefore, many organizations seem to oppose, avoid or at least try to delay it. This 'inevitable evil' paradigm is just a misconception. Understanding how to use business transformation as a strategic tool is more powerful than any fears. And it pays off.This book is a book of layers. It is born out of an outstanding collaboration between professionals of rather different personalities, expertise and expe¬rience. It is about leaders who went all in to achieve a 21st century organizational model, a snapshot into the work of more than 2.000 people as they went above and beyond trying to change their fate for more than 4 years.This book tells the story of a Project that has been designed from the start with the quest for exce-llence as an objective - it was envisioned to be globally recognized as one of the best business transformation initiatives, not just within the utilities sector, but across all industries.Some early reviews: "I've witnessed several presentations of the Project and in all of them my first impression was that the precise construct of the new organization, the description of each new role, and the risk analysis conducted to ascertain the risks of such an undertaking, all had an extraordinary level of detail. Of particular interest to me was the amount of people involved from the organization undergoing the change. That speaks well not only of the level of commitment of the leadership, but also of the level of enthusiasm and engagement of the workforce. I attribute this to the dedication of the Company's Leadership and Project's Leadership to deploy such an initiative. About the next steps: I am eager to know how this effort is being replicated across the Veolia family, and what challenges and opportunities are being captured and learned from in these future deployments. I recommend the book to all Managers looking to transform their Companies to meet the 21st Century challenges." Hugo Ashkar, Risk Manager - Global Projects Organization BP"Corporations, especially the bigger ones, constantly undergo organizational changes. Unfortunately, they do not remember the basics. The basics are that the organization of companies has to follow the processes, which follow the priorities, which follow the goals, which follow the vision and mission of the company. Getting all of this right, with all its consequences, is key to organizational change. Organizational Structure follows processes and processes follow purpose. This is exactly what Veolia did, and they did it right. The Project and the book are an inspiration for any Organizational Journey." Alexander Breskvar, Corporate VP of Quality Management - Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy"Cristian Matei and the leadership team of Veolia impressed the judges at the Global OPEX Awards 2019 with the extensive and strategic work they've done to turnaround the Veolia businesses, so much that they won the "Best Business Transformation Project" Category that year! They have also shared the journey and the transformation methodologies behind this winning story at the event and the audience were inspired by the depth of the transformation and the game-changing methodologies that completely reinvented the company DNA. It was my tremendous pleasure to have worked with Cristian and his team in the past few years, sharing their successes with our PEX Community, and couldn't be prouder to see their work published, so as to provide insights and positive influence for an even wider audience." Cathy Gu, Event Director, PEX Network & OPEX Week
