Types of Business Transformation
1. Organizational Transformation
Business transformation starts with redesigning a company’s structure and its mode of operation. This ever-evolving process is driven by general management and heavily focuses on the employees. Only if they’re supportive and on board with new work processes an actual transformation can take place.
2. Management Transformation
New generations have redefined hierarchical structures and internal relations. Rigid systems and too many middlemen hinder growth and make it more difficult to foster real talent. Plus, a more fluid leadership model with collaborating forces can easily adapt to changes that will happen in the future.
3. Cultural Transformation
This might be the most challenging transformation for long-established companies. It involves changing the mindset of the individual and the collective. Implementing a new corporate culture can only happen after a managerial transformation has taken place and a vision is formed.
4. Digital Transformation
In the digital transformation process, a company needs to rethink its business model with a digital strategic mindset. The leadership develops a digital business transformation strategy and decides in which way modern technology could improve the product and every aspect of the customer experience.
5. Information Systems Transformation
At the core of a business transformation lies the transformation of its information systems. This includes all information management resources like technologies, processes, and staff.
Integrating new technologies also means that there is a flood of newly available data that can be analyzed and shared across departments.
6. Transformation of Business Processes
Identifying which business processes can be improved is a vital step towards more efficiency. It’s important to weigh different options that could save time and resources. The automation of repetitive tasks by employing digitized tools frees up labor hours and lets the company focus on core business processes instead.
