Digital Transformation is NOT about Technology… | psKINETIC - Transformation & automation. Intelligently Delivered.
Sometimes you see a heading and you think 'yes that is spot on'. I highly recommend the short article in Harvard Business Review on the topic. We often ask ourselves 'why do projects fail?' Everyone has had failed projects: it is expensive, but it becomes life threatening (and soul destroying…) if one fails to learn from failure.
The Chartered Management Institute reported in 2017 that for every £1 billion spent on business transformation projects in the UK, £138m is wasted due to poor project performance. The individual company losses can be huge. For example, in 2013, The BBC cancelled its Digital Media Initiative, resulting in the write-down of £100 million worth of assets.
Our experience is that is it almost never about the technology, but almost always all about the implementation. Our mission at psKINETIC is to deliver return-on-automation for our customers and guarantee successful outcomes. Clearly improving the customer experience or driving margins via automation can deliver return on the investment in digital transformation, but almost as important is reducing the risk of implementation.
