The current situation has defined many challenges for all companies that, regardless of their size, have had to look for alternative solutions to provide continuity to their businesses.
It is there where expressions such as: "it is time to reinvent ourselves", "resilience is the key" or "a Digital Transformation (DT) is required" have become commonplace. All are valid statements, but let's focus on the last one, what are the key points for a digital transformation?Is it enough to achieve an adequate business reactivation?
The COVID 19 vaccination process carried out by each country is monitored on a daily basis. Some countries are more advanced than others, but in the end, regardless of progress, the great race for herd immunity has become the ultimate goal to be achieved by 2021.
However, there are a series of alternative processes that should accompany the great scientific effort that has been achieved: 1) Continuing with self-care protocols, 2) Maintaining cleanliness habits and 3) Continuing to avoid crowds for a while. In synthesis: To strengthen the vaccine with complementary processes that lead to the fulfillment of the maximum stated objective of massive control of the virus.
Making an analogy to COVID's vaccination process, we find the Digital Transformation: It is essential for all companiesThese companies, regardless of their size, must make the necessary effort to avoid being left behind by the rapid change that the technological ecosystem is facing in all areas, but especially in the business world.
However, it is not a process that works well on its own, requires complementary processes for its proper execution and ultimately have a positive impact on companies.
How to achieve Digital Transformation?
To achieve an adequate Digital Transformation it is first important to keep in mind:
- Digital Transformation does not imply automation for automation's sake. It is key to understand the purpose of digitization before embarking on streamlining poorly structured processes.
- TD can be started at all levels of companies and, as it grows, it can become more sophisticated as well.
- You can go to to agile sources of digital financing to achieve the objective. Companies specialized in supporting small, medium and large companies in achieving the Digital Transformation by providing the respective resources under the figure that best suits the size.
Contemplating the above points, it is also key to consider and reaffirm that Digital Transformation must be complemented by a business culture that places great emphasis on:
- The TD The company is perfected by each and every one of its employees.is not the sole responsibility of 100% technical equipment.
- It must be a pillar or business value that includes the allocation of resources, both monetary and in terms of time for each team.
- Must be in ability to mutate and be flexible to internal and external changes.
Only by joining forces can a robust and sustainable Digital Transformation be achieved over time. The vaccine alone is not enough, is a long-range commitment and not a momentary one..
