Business Transformation Design Framework

Developed over a decade of professional practice, the "Transforming Design Framework" gives Digital, innovation, and technology leaders a robust framework to streamline their organization's digital & business transformation process.

It is built on a strong foundation of business thinking and experience design, blend with agile and innovation.

It is the foundation for a common language across the organization with a shared vision for the digital future's business and operational model.

Continuance Human-Centered Transformation

Successful digital transformation starts with human goals, pain points, and the context of their interactions with your organization. Creating a framework with a people-first approach means that solutions are targeting meaningful outcomes, not just new technologies.

Incorporating design thinking into the framework ensures that you focus your iterative sprints on continuous improvement of the human factors within the overall transformation process.

From Tactical Execution to Enterprise Transformation

The transforming framework supports digital initiatives ranging from tactical & conceptual project, to a comprehensive strategic and visionary view of the future enterprise.

From eCommerce implementation to industry-wide platform deployment, Building cross-organization digital initiatives with a common modeling framework creates a clear, well-structured map allowing diverse groups to plan, report, and execute uniformly.

7 Steps Cycle

The framework spread across seven iterative modules and 25 Objects , creating a common language and practical navigation map aid to frame and unify the business transformation process.

The starting point of our framework is a solid understanding of the business motivation for change⁽¹⁾, following by a deep scan of the current operating model⁽²⁾, goal setting⁽³⁾, and selecting the most suitable transformation model to accomplish our goals. Steps 4 and 5 represent our organization's future state⁽⁴⁾, creating a new operation model⁽⁵⁾ and a practical execution plan⁽⁶⁾ finalizing the sprint with validation and reflection⁽⁷⁾.

Understanding Your Transition Path

The transition map is the hart of each design sprint. It is a visual representation of your business model significant objects reviling opportunities for digitalization and transformation.

Based on the current (Baseline) state and supported by your goals and transformation model, the transition map suggests future trajectories (opportunities and threats) for your transformation process.

The transition map highlights the significant changes between the old and new digital models.

Achieving a 360^O Transformation view

The 360-degree approach to transformation means reinventing outward-facing strategy and inward-facing business modeling while creating a common language across the organization.

Companies with a clear 360-degree view have a clear vision of their future state, better understand this execution and integration path supporting a sharp focus on the human element.

Transforming Modeling Block

The modeling block is the centerpiece of the transforming framework. It is a combination of 90 dimensions covering the complexity and challenges of the entire organization.

It creates the common language needed to explore key dimensions and consider the prioritization of your process.

The modeling block aligns the entire organization on the same path and ensures successful Continuance transformation.

Choose or build your Transformation Model

Choosing the right business & digital transformation model is a critical step toward the successful execution of the transformation process.

Ranging from integrating digital technologies and capabilities into the new business model or redesigning the entire industry, the transformation model acts as the foundation for the framework's ideation and execution stages.

Ideate and Build your own Path to success

Ideation is the most exciting stage of the Transforming framework. It is where you generate a vision of your future digital organization.

Here, the different teams generate as many ideas as possible representing the future digital operation that can later be filtered and cut down into the best, most practical, or most innovative ones to inspire new and better-designed solutions, products, and modes of operation.

Execute with Innovative Digital Approach

Every transformation depends on a well defined and articulated execution plan.

It is an agreed process for executing the business & digital transformation activities, including a blueprint for the needed technologies and data to support the transition.

A shared understanding of the future skills and capabilities wrapped up with a governance and change management model.

Six stages of business transformation

Every business faces Digital disruption. Some companies are far along the business & digital transformation process, while others have yet to begin a formal transformation strategy.

Following our framework, every business can track itself according to the six stages of business transformation, improving the communication plan and direction.
