Business transformation entails a wide-reaching, strategically driven campaign to improve the way in which a company conducts business. Often business transformation is undertaken as a response to shifting market conditions, eroding competitive standing, and deteriorating financial results. These symptoms prompt companies to undertake business transformation initiatives. Top-performing companies may also implement proactive business transformation programs in order to continuously improve their performance and maintain competitive advantage. For any enterprise, a successful business transformation campaign can yield substantial benefits including greater strategic clarity, re-energized leadership, improved operational efficiency and effectiveness, and stronger financial performance.
While the ability to envision a company’s optimized future state is an essential part of a successful business transformation program, so too is effective change management. Refining strategies and redesigning processes poses one set of challenges. Getting people to buy into and effectively execute the new ways of doing business is at least as challenging as the design stage, if not more so.
