What is digital strategy and how does ICG enable it?
We can help you develop and position your competitive advantages and identify the gaps in your organization, talent, process, and technologies that you must fill to seize digital opportunities. To help you achieve your digital ambitions, we offer digital ecosystem analysis and capability assessments, and we can help you formulate and execute your customized digital strategy.
Align your business strategy and capabilities
We help you align your business strategy and your digital vision to identify the best-fit digital initiatives and prioritize them according to their value potential and feasibility. We then build a roadmap, signposted with projects, timelines, targets and accountabilities, to translate your digital strategy into realistic transformational plans and outcomes. This means the strategy can be easily understood and implemented by both the leadership and operational teams.
Make relevant strategic choices
You need to have a clear idea of how your digital strategy will create and deliver value. This will validate the strategic choices you make and help you to benefit from quick results and scale your most valuable initiatives. From a technical perspective, the limited size of digital initiatives allows for a short testing period, quick improvements based on the customer/user feedback, a market-product fit alignment and rapid delivery.
This means that digital transformations start with experimentation at a small scale. For example, at the level of a business unit, a specific product, service or brand, or a sample of users/customers.
After evaluating the results from the customer, finance, and operational perspective, DX plans can then be reviewed and improved in order to scale them successfully.
Create a winning digital strategy
An effective digital strategy first focuses on generating quick wins by concentrating on the most valuable use cases related to strategic choices. This funds the DX journey, frees corporate resources, builds digital momentum and consolidates stakeholder support. More precisely, a winning digital strategy prioritizes the customer segments, pain points and products with the highest value potential and most rapid delivery.
Today’s world is marked by frequent and unpredictable technology and market shifts. To deal with these rapid changes, you need to strengthen your digital strategy capabilities and enable your company to execute dynamic strategies and evolving plans. Companies that lead in digital embed flexibility in their transformational plans.
