The Importance of Stakeholder Mapping

The Importance of Stakeholder Mapping

GUEST POST from Art Inteligencia

Stakeholder mapping is an essential tool for any organization that wants to succeed. It allows a company to identify the key stakeholders who are involved in a project or initiative, and to better understand their interests and needs. By understanding the stakeholders and their interests, a company can develop strategies that will ensure the successful completion of their project or initiative.

Stakeholder mapping is not only important for the success of a project or initiative, but it is also a vital part of any organizational strategy. The process of mapping stakeholders allows organizations to identify the various stakeholders that could potentially be involved in the project or initiative. This includes both internal and external stakeholders and allows the organization to better understand the potential benefits and risks associated with each stakeholder. It can also help the organization to better manage the relationship with stakeholders and to ensure that all stakeholders are aligned with the objectives of the project or initiative.

Stakeholder mapping can also provide organizations with valuable insight into the interests and needs of each stakeholder. This insight can be used to develop strategies that will ensure the successful completion of the project or initiative. By understanding the interests and needs of each stakeholder, organizations are better able to develop strategies that will account for the interests of all stakeholders.

Finally, stakeholder mapping is also important for organizations because it allows them to identify potential risks and opportunities associated with each stakeholder. By understanding the risks and opportunities associated with each stakeholder, organizations can develop strategies to minimize the risks and maximize the benefits for all stakeholders.

In summary, stakeholder mapping is an essential tool for any organization that wants to succeed. It allows a company to identify the key stakeholders who are involved in a project or initiative, and to better understand their interests and needs. By understanding the stakeholders and their interests, a company can develop strategies that will ensure the successful completion of their project or initiative. Additionally, stakeholder mapping can provide organizations with valuable insight into the interests and needs of each stakeholder, as well as potential risks and opportunities associated with each stakeholder.

What is a Chief Transformation Officer?

What is a Chief Transformation Officer?

GUEST POST from Art Inteligencia

The role of the Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) is an increasingly important one within modern organizations. A CTO is responsible for leading and managing the transformation of an organization, both strategically and operationally. This includes overseeing the development of new processes, systems and structures to improve the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.

The key responsibilities of a CTO involve developing and implementing a strategic plan that outlines the goals and objectives of the organization, as well as its commitment to transformation. This includes the establishment of a transformation framework that outlines the necessary steps and processes required to achieve the desired outcomes. The CTO is also responsible for leading the implementation of the transformation plan, which includes the design and implementation of new processes and systems, as well as the development of a culture of continuous improvement.

CTOs must also be able to identify and manage risks associated with the transformation process. This includes the identification of potential obstacles to achieving the desired outcomes and developing plans to mitigate these risks. Additionally, CTOs must be able to identify and implement new technologies and processes that can help streamline operations and optimize performance.

CTOs must be well-versed in the latest technology trends, as well as the latest business principles and best practices. They must understand the implications of their decisions on the organization’s overall performance, as well as the potential impact on customer satisfaction.

Finally, CTOs must be able to effectively communicate and collaborate with all stakeholders, including customers, employees, partners, and suppliers. This includes the ability to effectively manage expectations and build trust among all stakeholders.

In summary, the role of a Chief Transformation Officer is a critical one in today’s organizations. CTOs must be able to lead and manage the transformation process, while ensuring the organization’s objectives are achieved. They must also be able to identify and manage risks, as well as implement new technologies and processes to optimize performance. Finally, they must be able to effectively communicate and collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure the organization’s success.

The Role of Technology in Change Management

The Role of Technology in Change Management

GUEST POST from Art Inteligencia

The world of business is constantly changing and evolving, and the most successful organizations are those that are able to adapt quickly and effectively to changing conditions. Change management is the process of anticipating, preparing, and executing organizational change in order to achieve a desired outcome. Technology is an important part of the change management process and can be leveraged in a variety of ways to ensure successful change.

Here are five key ways to leverage technology for change management success:

1. Communication: Technology makes it easier for organizations to communicate with their employees, customers, and other stakeholders. A variety of communication tools such as email, text, video conferencing, and social media can be used to communicate messages about organizational change. This helps to ensure that everyone involved is on the same page and can provide feedback and support for the change process.

2. Automation: Automation is a great way to streamline the change process and ensure consistency. Automation can be used to automate tasks that are time consuming or repetitive, freeing up resources and allowing teams to focus on more important activities related to the change process.

3. Data Analysis: Technology can be used to collect, store, and analyze data related to the change process. This data can then be used to identify areas where improvement is needed and to track the progress of the change process.

4. Training: Technology can be used to provide training and education related to the change process. This can be done through online courses, videos, and other interactive materials. This helps to ensure that everyone involved in the change process understands the goals and expectations and is equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to carry out the change successfully.

5. Monitoring: Technology can be used to monitor the progress of the change process and ensure that it is on track. This can be done through a variety of tools such as dashboards and reporting tools. This helps to identify any potential issues or problems and ensure that the change process is successful.

Technology is an important part of the change management process and can be leveraged in a variety of ways to ensure successful change. By using the right tools and techniques, organizations can ensure that the change process is efficient, effective, and successful.

Are You Prepared to Run a Digital Business for the Digital Age?

Are You Prepared to Run a Digital Business for the Digital Age?

In our digital age, all companies must change how they think, how they interact with customers, partners, and suppliers, and how their business works on the inside. Customer, partner, and supplier expectations have changed, and a gap is opening between what they expect from their interaction with companies and what those companies are currently able to deliver. Companies must immediately work to close this expectation gap, or their entire business is at risk.

If digital natives attack, they will do it with a collection of digital strategies that utilize the power of the digital mindset to more efficiently and effectively utilize the available people, tools, and technology, and to design better, more seamlessly interconnected, and automated processes that can operate with only occasional human intervention.

To defend your company’s very existence, you must start thinking like a technology company or go out of business. Part of that thinking is to fundamentally re-imagine how you structure and operate your business. You must look at your business and your industry in the same way that a digital native startup will if they seek to attack you and steal your market. To make this easier, ask yourself these five foundational questions:

  1. If I were to build this business today, given everything that I know about the industry and its customers and the advances in people, process, technology and tools, how would I design it?
  2. From the customers’ perspective, where does the value come from?
  3. What structure and systems would deliver the maximum value with the minimum waste?
  4. What are the barriers to adoption and the obstacles to delight for my product(s) and/or service(s) and how will my design help potential customers overcome them?
  5. Where is the friction in my business that the latest usage methods of people, process, technology, and tools can help eliminate?

There are, of course, other questions you may want to ask, but these five should get you most of the way to where you need to go in your initial strategic planning sessions. What questions do you think are key for enterprises to ask themselves if they are to survive and thrive in the digital age?

Digital Strategy vs. Digital Transformation

How much appetite for digital change do you have?

Understanding how your management and your enterprise is likely to answer this question will help you identify whether your business should pursue a digital strategy or a digital transformation. The two terms are often misused, in part by being used interchangeably when they are in fact two very different things.

A digital strategy is a strategy focused on utilizing digital technologies to better serve one group of people (customers, employees, partners, suppliers, etc.) or to serve the needs of one business group (HR, finance, marketing, operations, etc.). The scope of a digital strategy can be quite narrow, such as using digital channels to market to consumers in a B2C company; or broader, such as re-imagining how marketing could be made more efficient using digital tools like CRM, marketing automation, social media monitoring, etc. and hopefully become more effective at the same time.

Meanwhile, digital transformation is an intensive process that begins by effectively building an entirely new organization from scratch, utilizing:

  • The latest best practices and emerging next practices in process (continuous improvement, business architecture, lean startup, business process management, or BPM, crowd computing, and continuous innovation using a tool like The Eight I’s of Infinite Innovation™)
  • The latest tools (robotics, sensors, etc.)
  • All the latest digital technologies (artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, BPM, etc.)
  • The optimal use of the other three to liberate the people who work for you to spend less time on bureaucratic work and more time creating the changes necessary to overcome barriers to adoption and obstacles to delight through better leadership methods, reward/recognition systems, physical spaces, collaboration, and knowledge management systems, etc.

It ends with a plan of how to transform from the old way of running the business to the new way.

The planning of the digital transformation is all done collaboratively on paper, whiteboards, and asynchronous electronic communication (definitely not email) powered by a collection of tools like the Change Planning Toolkit™.

The goal is to think like a digital native, to think like a startup, to approach the idea of designing a company by utilizing all the advances in people, process, technology, and tools to kill off the existing incarnation of your company. Because if you don’t re-invent your company now and set yourself up with a new set of capabilities that enable you to continuously reinvent yourself as a company, then a venture capitalist is going to see an opportunity, find the right team of digital natives, and give them the funding necessary to enter your market and reinvent your entire industry for you.

What do you want to re-invent?

Our team at Oracle was created to use design thinking, innovation and transformation tools and methods to help Oracle customers tackle their greatest business challenges, to re-imagine themselves for the digital age, and to discover and pursue their greatest innovation, transformation and growth opportunities.

We call this human-centric problem-solving and together we create plans to make our customers’ solution vision real in just weeks. And along the way, this new Oracle approach helps increase collaboration across business functions and accelerate future decision-making.

Find out more about how to protect your business from digital disruption, building upon these five foundational questions with additional questions and frameworks contained in my latest success guide Riding the Data Wave to Digital Disruption.

What is the Cost of a Failed Change Initiative or Innovation Project?

What is the Cost of a Failed Change Initiative or Innovation Project?

by Braden Kelley

It seems like a simple question.

One that you would expect to lead to some risk mitigation behavior, but it doesn’t.

And when you consider that companies are spending an increasing amount of their budget on technology and working to transform their operations to be more digital in order to provide a better experience for customers, employees, partners and suppliers while simultaneously creating a more efficient and effective business, you would think that companies would do everything possible to make sure that these projects succeed, but they don’t.

Everyone knows that a lot of technology projects fail to achieve their intended objectives, timings, and budgets. This fact and the increasing investment levels should cause more executives to look for ways to de-risk these technology investments in digitizing the business, but they’re not.

Why is that?

Are we really so afraid of learning new ways of doing things that would dramatically reduce the risk and expense of project failures that we will continue using the old ways even though we know they don’t work?

Even though there are incredibly inexpensive and easy ways of reducing both the risk of project failures and the cost of project execution, patterns of behavior are not changing…

Perhaps you see the world differently.

Perhaps you’re fed up with project failures and want to increase the speed of both change execution and change adoption.

Consider answering these five simple questions before spending a single minute on your next innovation project, change initiative, or digital transformation effort:

  1. How much is an hour of your time worth to the company you work for? (multiply this by the number of hours you expect to invest in this project or initiative)
  2. What is the fully-loaded monetary value of the time that employees are going to spend on this project or initiative?
  3. How much do you pay to a single contract project manager to spin up a project before the first minute of actual work begins? Over the life of the project?
  4. How much are you planning to spend with consulting companies on this project or initiative?
  5. How much are you planning to spend on contractors to staff this project or initiative?

Get access to the Change Planning Toolkit for less than $100Have you got the numbers in your mind?

Now, are any of these numbers $100 or more?

I’m sure they are, unless of course you’re going to do the project yourself in less than an hour and don’t value your time very much.

So, what if I told you that for less than $100 you could plan and execute your change initiatives, innovation projects and transformation investments in a much more visual and collaborative way and simultaneously reduce the chances of project failure and the cost of executing your project?

Well, you can. You just have to be willing to challenge orthodoxies and use a new set of tools, a new approach, that will feel very natural and empowering if you’re already comfortable with the Business Model Canvas, Lean, Design Thinking, or the Lean Startup.

All you need to get started is a copy of my latest book Charting Change and a $99.99/yr license for the Change Planning Toolkit™ (which comes with a QuickStart Guide). In exchange you’ll get tools worth more than $1,200 and will help to support the creation of the Human-Centered Innovation Toolkit™.

It’s as simple as that.

And to get you started if you’re still unsure, go ahead and grab the 10 Free Downloads and the poster-size Visual Project Charter™ and the poster-size Experiment Canvas™ from the under-construction Human-Centered Innovation Toolkit™.

Let’s change change and keep innovating – together!
