Area of Consulting - Digital Architecture & Transformation
What does it take to run a company? Well, many elements like - people, processes, software, business model, data, information, manufacturing plants, policies, products, rules, and a slew of a whole bunch of things. This is true for a single-person who sells stuff on eBay to a Fortune 100 company that sells products and services across the world. As the number of elements that make up the company grow, it's more and more difficult for those who run the company to understand it fully. If you don't understand how these elements come together to make it work, it's difficult for you to make decisions about it.
Many companies are also transforming themselves digitally. This means that pretty much everything it does are now controlled by 1s and 0s. When a customer browses the company website and clicks on a product to purchase, she is interacting with 1s and 0s. When the order is transmitted to sales, it is done through 1s and 0s. When the order triggers the customer configured product to be assembled, the manufacturing or assembly process is controlled by machines that are provided instructions depicted in 1s and 0s. Design of parts of physical products is modeled as CAD models in 1s and 0s; so are conceptual products like bank accounts and insurance. The payment for the order is received through a credit card, and that’s facilitated by 1s and 0s. You get the picture. Much of how the company of the future will work is controlled by 1s and 0s. So shouldn't we need to understand that?
Your company is made of many different elements, and many of them digital. Some of these elements may provide a competitive advantage, while others are just there to support the business. How can you bring all these parts into focus to think about how your company runs? Well, that's what I mean by "Connecting the Dots.... to Integrate the Enterprise."
