Unit 06: LO 1 - 1.2 - Digital Transformation Strategy

Think of it like turning your school into a super high-tech place where everything runs smoothly, you get what you need instantly, and it's easier to get good grades.

Having a Digital Strategy

• Imagine you're planning a big school project. You wouldn't just start without a game plan, right? A digital strategy is that game plan but for the entire company. It outlines which technologies to use and how to use them to achieve the company's goals.

Having a Digital-First Culture

• A digital-first culture is like if everyone in your school preferred using online resources, eBooks, and digital submissions rather than paper and textbooks. It's an environment where everyone is comfortable with digital tech and prefers to use it to solve problems.

Using Technology Innovatively

• This is like if your science class didn't just follow the usual experiments but also included stuff like coding a small robot or using augmented reality. In a company, using technology innovatively means going beyond the basics and using tech in creative ways to solve problems.

Using Data to Inform Decision Making

• Imagine if your teachers could predict exactly which topics you'll find difficult based on data and focus more on them. Using data in a company helps make smarter choices because it's based on real facts and figures, not just gut feelings.

Focusing on the Customer Experience

• Think about your favorite game or app. You love it because it's easy to use and fun, right? Focusing on the customer experience means making sure whatever service or product the company offers is as user-friendly and beneficial to the customer as possible.

Defining Operational Processes

• This is like having clear school rules and procedures so everyone knows what to do. In a digital transformation, operational processes are defined so everyone knows how to use the new digital tools and systems. This keeps things running smoothly.

In short, a successful digital transformation is like taking your old school and turning it into a high-tech, super-efficient place where everyone knows how to use the latest gadgets to make learning fun and effective.
