From the Editor's Desk Successful Digital Transformation is All About Value In the digital era, how firms create and capture value has changed profoundly. But with digital transformation, many firms are leaving substantial value on the table, getting caught up in “doing” digital transformation rather than staying focused on how they will create and capture value with digital. To do this, first companies need to understand the three different types of digital value: value from customers (cross-selling, increased loyalty, great customer experience); value from operations (increased efficiency, modularity and reuse of components, automating processes); and value from ecosystems (leveraging partners for both access to more customers and range of products and services). With these types of value in mind, firms can then take action to create digital value by: identifying domain opportunities; building mutually-reinforcing capabilities; tracking digital value with a dashboard; recruiting digital partners; and investing in digital savviness of everyone at the firm. Companies that do this will become truly “future ready.” A global financial services firm we worked with really seemed to get the digital message. They hired a chief digital officer who led many locally successful projects to improve the customer experience. These included making it easier to move from in-person to online for certain tasks, plus targeted offers based on customer data. They felt confident they were creating great customer value. But there was a problem. Those local innovations ended up adding more complexity to the existing fragmented business processes, systems, and data. Although the customer experience often improved — and in some cases, revenue increased — the rise in the cost-to-serve eclipsed the gains and added other risks like cybersecurity and system crashes.

Work How to Intervene When Your Team Has Too Much Work What do you do when your team has been handed more work, but you dont have the staff to do it all? With the Great Resignation and a struggling economy, more and more team leaders are facing this question. They need to do more, with less. Fortunately, there are ways to get the most important items done and stay sane in the process. First, be honest with yourself; an overloaded department wont get everything done. Second, prioritize consciously about what youll do and what you wont. Third, communicate your plan with your boss, including data, if necessary. Fourth, delegate projects to other teams or to external contractors. Fifth, reset expectations with stakeholders. Finally, request more staff. Even if its not in the cards right now, making the case early might put you at the top of the list when budget allows. � Work A Low-Pressure Guide to Make Strength Training a Habit For real this time.
