Digital Organization

As they start their digital journey, every company must answer the question: How do I set up my organization for a digital transformation?

We set out to answer our clients’ most pressing questions about the organizational elements of a digital transformation:

Leaders are moving quickly to build digital organizations that add real value to their business. Hallmarks of their success include:

• designing a digital organizational structure that aligns closely with
  1. their overall digital strategy and
  2. how they expect to capture value from digital
• appointing digital leaders who lead like venture capitalists or growth equity investors, rather than traditional hierarchical leaders; release significant control to teams; and manage progress on monthly or quarterly key performance indicators
• embedding a specific set of agile management practices fundamental to driving performance and health across the organization; companies that can achieve both speed and stability will win
• strategically acquiring and promoting digital talent and leadership, defining new career paths based on experiences (not necessarily managing or traditional hierarchy), and valuing autonomy and purpose, not just compensation
