• Front to back– End-to-end from the customer

to the systems of record• Breadth of interaction

– Diversity of customer touchpoints an form factors

• Depth of community– Broad ecosystems of vendors

and services


Digital Transformation

What are you transforming?

Digital Transformation = Business Transformation

Customer Experience

TechnologyInternal

Organization

All of the Above


Getting to ‘Square Zero’

• Digital transformation can’t start in earnest until you clean up the worst messes– Does IT know what apps it’s responsible

for?– Does IT know which systems talk to

which?• Fix what’s broken

– Iteratively– With constant focus on customer

priorities– Avoid being dogmatic Ph
