You are a business executive and seem to be hitting against the wall with everything you do in an ever changing environment. This is the age of disruption in every industry and the incumbents are being hit hard by challengers.  Business volatility is unprecedented. And whether the causes are new technologies and digitalization, globalization, blurred industry boundaries, regulation, energy dynamics, or other factors, the message is clear: transformation isn’t an option, it’s a business imperative. Forward-thinking companies are launching transformations even when they dominate a market, retooling themselves so they stay ahead. We define transformation as a cross-functional effort to alter the financial, operational and strategic trajectory of a business, with a stated goal of producing game-changing results.  Unfortunately, More than 70 percent of major change efforts fail due to a slew of reasons. 

 

With your traditional ways, your revenues are at risk. You will need to be much bolder and more ambitious. You are painfully aware of the massive shifts, yet you have not  adapted to them. A growing and fast-moving ecosystem of digital and fast moving players are starting to nibble at your franchise. The board feels anxious about what no longer seems to be a marginal threat. It worries that management has grown complacent. Scenarios that once appeared improbable are becoming all too real, prompting boards and CEOs of flagging (or perhaps merely drifting) businesses to embrace the T-word: Transformation.

​

But where do you start?

​

Transformation is perhaps the most overused term in business. Often, companies apply it loosely—too loosely—to any form of change, however minor or routine.  What we’re focused on here a transformation with a capital T, which we define as an intense, organization-wide program to enhance performance and to boost organizational health. When such transformations succeed, they radically improve the important business drivers, such as topline growth, capital productivity, cost efficiency, operational effectiveness, customer satisfaction, and sales excellence. Because such transformations instill the importance of internal alignment around a common vision and strategy, increase the capacity for renewal, and develop superior execution skills, they enable companies to go on improving their results in sustainable ways year after year. These sorts of transformations may well involve exploiting new digital opportunities or accompany a strategic rethink. But in essence, they are largely about delivering the full potential of what’s already there.

​

So, such transformations have to start with re-imagining the value proposition and rethinking the business model that creates, delivery and capture the value while being extremely customer-centric to every sliver in the value-chain.
