what is the right digital transformation formula? | endava executive network, 2016
TRANSCRIPT
Digital Transforma/on is no longer a mere strategic advantage in the business ecosystem. Disrup/ve technology-‐enabled start-‐ups are bringing unprecedented change to the marketplace which consequently is driving established companies to adapt and transform themselves. By crea/ng unmatched experiences centred on the user, Digital Transforma/on is reshaping companies into digital businesses, meaning that the essen/al ques/on around the topic isn’t whether or not to undergo the transforma/on, but what’s the right Digital Transforma/on formula for each business?
Powered by the exper/se of Jus$n Marcucci, Bradley Howard, Jeremy Mayes, and Steve Bacall, Endava’s “Digital Transforma$on. Not Buzzwords.” events in Atlanta, New York, Frankfurt and London represent an open conversa/on around the core components of a successful Digital Transforma$on, and provide insight into how to begin the journey towards a digitally-‐powered business future.

DISCUSSING PRIORITIES According to our experts, reshaping companies into digital businesses through Digital Transformation requires a clear focus on crea/ng unmatched experiences centred on the user.
While some see user experience as a task plan or a list of deliverables, we consider UX to be a philosophical approach that guides the crea/on of a solu/on and governs all design decisions. Since our experts define UX as an abstract component rather than an exhaustive list, our guests were wondering how we solve the measurability issue while distancing ourselves from more tradi/onal approaches.

We are precipita/ng Digital Transforma/on by shiQing the conversa/on away from one filled with buzzwords to one centred around the user interac/on formula, focusing on op/mal user experience as the core component of digital transforma/on.
By focusing on UX, we validate not just the core business model and organisa/onal structure but target technologies, as well, allowing us to trace, measure and /e all development efforts back to quan/fiable user goals.

DEVELOPING AND FINE TUNING THE FORMULA
FOR SUCCESSFUL DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
USER GOAL MESSAGING CALL TO ACTION
FINE TUNING IT. TOGETHER. In our experience, and in line with the insights offered by our aUendees, there’s never a single user goal but rather mul/ple goal funnels, with a real poten/al of becoming a challenge for businesses.
As a response to this concern, our experts demonstrated how applying the digital transforma/on formula enables the effec/ve mapping of user goals back to business goals by business line, country, regional and global strategies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The general consensus among speakers and aUendees was that although Digital Transforma/on can be a challenging process, the transi/on to a usability and user goal-‐oriented business delivered through an agile framework adds trackable, measurable value to a business.
Our experts traced the rules that govern the design and the development process, respec/vely, introducing the AIM (Accelerate – Innovate – Measure) concept to address aUendees’ ques/ons regarding adaptability and measurability, providing further insight into how product and UI design, insight through data, agile delivery and digital strategy lead to a successful Digital Transforma/on.
As Digital Transforma/on con/nues to be a valuable process and a topic of interest for businesses worldwide, we plan to con/nue the conversa/on through future events that challenge rigid, tradi/onal approaches in favour of advanced, flexible methodologies, sharing ideas and defining best prac/ces.
