Digital transformation is everywhere and with a good reason. It enables organizations to compete more effectively in the ever-changing digital economy.
Through the use of digital technology, improvements in performance is a priority for many businesses. Embracing these technologies to advance business operations is no longer a question of “if”, but “when’’. However, it still remains a complicated task. In this blog, we are sharing 5 key questions to ask before beginning your digital transformation.
1. Why do we need transformation?
Having your end goals in sight right from the beginning will help you determine the outcomes of your digital transformation initiative. Ask yourself what is the problem that digital transformation will solve? A successful digital transformation provides the foundation to establish and gain a competitive advantage.
2. How will it impact my business?
Digital transformation is a business transformation and must be ingrained in everything the company does. It is a transformation that requires changes from the entire business. Executive buy-in and cross-departmental planning play an intricate part during the execution phase. Ensure all parties are on board before committing to anything else.
3. In which technologies should we invest?

Therefore, it’s important to invest in technologies that are beneficial for your business that should be flexible and scalable enough to grow along with your business.
