A Blueprint for Digital Transformation

Many organization are trying to transform themselves and to make themselves more ‘digital.’ How do you effectively approach such a problem? Well, you’ll need a good framework to make sure that you’ve accounted for many things to happen in such a transformation.
Here’s my attempt to show you a one-page blueprint that can help you in that transformation. While the transformation exercise is complicated, leaders who want to change the organization need to understand all the elements of such change, and a blueprint like this makes it much easier to do so.

NEGATIVE transform + POSITIVE = THE POWER OF SUCCESS AND ASSISTED BY THE METHOD OF EQUILIBRIUM OR BALANCE

[@venkatkumaresan2840]

Such a complex thing is made so simple with your explanation and illustration, Dr. Raj Ramesh. Very happy that I came across this.

[@AmbrishKochikar1]

This is probably the best use of 6 minutes on KZbin. Thanks for the terrific primer!

[@RajRamesh]

Thanks Ambrish. That means a lot to me.

[@willfrascarelli5090]

Fantastic - clear and concise, highly valuable! Huge thank you Sir!

[@happyprancer]

I have read several books on digital transformation and attended several conferences where they talk about it. But this the best and precise talk of all.

[@RajRamesh]

Thanks @Pradipta. Really appreciate your kind words.

[@nambuj]

Liked the simple yet effective way of presenting Digital Transformation

[@chatthunnimenon1207]

Just as Sanskrit can condense words spoken in English to 1/3rd yet retain the same meaning, Dr. Raj has simply explained DT in minimal time. Well done.

[@LakshmananKannan]

Great attempt

Wonderful.. Amazing way . Simplified Digital Transformation.

You sir are an amazing person. I can’t speak for everyone, but I personally appreciate learning from your content. You provide an amazing contribution to the architecture community. 5 Stars on your business architecture blueprinting of the ecosystem around a digital transformation, your storytelling capabilities are on another level, and you made it all digestible. Clearly you have a great breadth and depth of experience in all of the EA domains. Subscribed.

This is Fantastic! succinct and very informatif. Thank you for the great content!

[@miramerina9362]

thnx machallah you r the best

[@srinidigital4414]

what i liked about the approach here is , ... A) Link the fundamental transformation to Foundational Enterprise Architecture B) Transformation defined as in , Changes to the reality of external world rather than reaction ! and lastly C) Transformation as an on-going process rather than a one-time/ time bound make over . Well done team , Thanks for bringing up such nice video.

[@eaprincipals9708]

Totally concur.

[@jackshimosa]

This is amazing! Thank you.

[@adindavanbeveren4114]

Have spoken to a dozen specialists and this is the first time DT is explained in a way that makes sense and still leaves enough space for own imagination. Well done Raj Ramesh!

[@RajRamesh]

Thank you Adinda.

[@rcx575]

In many of your videos, you have spoken about the need to design capabilities, processes and services using granular modules. The modules allow business processes to change and be re-organised according to business needs and allow the business to be more agile and customised. You have also said that IT applications and infrastructure can be isolated according to the modules so that the applications can be easily enhanced, re-purposed, or abandoned. Did I understand all that correctly? Once these modules have been designed then how are they deployed in practice? Could departments, people and roles would need to be organised according to the modules? Could IT systems be deployed as micro-services or SOA blocks according to the modules?

[@RajRamesh]

Hi Philip, Thanks for your note. Yes, you have summarized the essence of modularity well. Modularity is one of the best ways to ensure that we can adapt quickly. If you agree with that, the next question is, "how do you design a module?" One of the best ways to do that is hierarchical - because different people will be interested in different levels of granularity. For me as a consumer, a grocery store is a module - because for the most part I don't care how the internals work. For the store manager, each of the departments - like stocking, accounting, customer service, transportation, etc., are modules that have to work together to deliver value to me. Interactions (in other words business processes) connect these different modules. The stocking manager may care about the type and quantities of items to stock - those that require refrigeration, those that need to be frozen, and those that can be on the shelves, and has to optimize to do that. To meet the requirements of freezing, she may have the freezer module talk to the maintenance module - otherwise, a lot of food may go waste. We have a similar picture on the IT side - where the modules are encapsulated with a callable service interface. The service itself may be made up of other services, all the way to a granular service that can be potentially reused in other modules. Hope this answers your question. Time for a video on this perhaps :-) ?

[@PathtoContinuousimprovement]

Good insight on Digital Transformation. but in my view LEAN should precede any digital transformation. Business cannot have Cart before the Horse

[@RajRamesh]

Yes LEAN is important, but how about after DT?

[@PathtoContinuousimprovement]

@@RajRamesh lean will clean up inefficiencies, lean will give the direction and value creation. Then enable the value chain with DT .I attempted to give my two cents on this topic kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpmsdqKwjc2Hbpo

[@serrendiptiy]

While you watch the video try keeping in mind the following question: "Where is the digital strategy of the company?" because without knowing why you're going down this route, you have no way to know that it's the right course of action, and no way to know whether it has succeeded, no way of knowing that your covering the future. You'll have spent a lot of cash on technology for what? This framework looks good but fails at the first hurdle - perhaps the most important one.

Please share your thoughts in more detail. There are companies that do blueprints for transformation for six months!
