TO CONTINUE MY PREVIOUS POST ABOUT DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION...
In a DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FORUM, there were some inspiring talks about the challenges, opportunities and the impact of digital transformation for companies. Twelve speakers, shared their experiences and struggles. I learned that technology is not the difficult part, leadership is. Your digital vision needs to be seen in your employee's souls. They can create unique, powerful products for your customers when they focus on user experience.
Not Convinced?
We will learn step by step :
1. Digital leadership is key, not technology
Many people seem to think that it’s all about technology. But it is not. According to Jo Caudron, author of the bookDigital Transformation, it is not a technology challenge. He claims technology is the easy part. Changing how people operate however, that is the difficult part. That makes Digital Transformation more of a management & people challenge. This implies that a successful Digital Transformation requires digital leadership. You’ll need someone to manage this transformation. Someone who draws up a vision for the future, and someone who develops a roadmap that will get you there.
The digital leader of a company understands what the impact of digital is on their business models. He doesn’t necessarily need to know and understand all the technical details. Many influential companies have appointed a digital leader as their CDO (Chief Digital Officer). These CDOs are constantly questioning the current business models and how these models can be adjusted to tackle future digital disruption waves. How to design different models which will be userful for digital era.
In my next post we will learn about next point....
Happy digital reading....

Hello Team,
Hope you are doing well. Today we will discuss about Digital Transformation.
Digital transformation is one of the big buzzwords in the business technology industry. However, not everyone is clear about what the term means or how it might apply to their organizations.
Like most buzzwords and industry, digital transformation is a double effect in an organization. On one hand, it has the potential to radically transform your business, but on the other hand, it opens up a multitude of business, operational, organizational and technological variables. While this provides great opportunities to some, for others it provides overwhelming options that can be difficult to navigate.
Below are five commonly asked questions regarding digital transformation:
1. What is digital transformation?
Digital transformation is the use of technology to make quantum improvements – rather than more incremental adjustments – to an organization. It is more than a simple technology initiative. It is a strategy to completely overhaul an organization’s business model. For example, a company might leverage digital transformation strategies and tactics to overhaul its supply chain or renovate the way customers interact with the company.
2. What are components of digital transformation?
Digital transformation can entail any number of technologies, including ERP software, HCM systems, eCommerce, business intelligence, mobile applications, internet of things along with a host of other possibilities. Point to note that digital transformation typically entails a flexible and creative use of potential technologies without being contained by any one type of technology. Digital strategies are typically driven by an overarching business strategy rather than by the IT department’s need to upgrade current systems.
3. What is the difference between digital transformation and ERP software implementations?
Digital transformation is typically a more revolutionary change to a business, whereas ERP software deployments are centered around more incremental business improvements. In addition, digital strategies more commonly leverage innovative new technologies not currently being used by the organization. ERP implementations more commonly involve upgrading an outdated back office system. However, ERP systems can coexist with digital transformations and are often one of multiple components of a comprehensive digital strategy.
4. How do I know if digital transformation is right for my organization?
Digital transformation is most suitable for organizations that are aggressively pursuing growth, experiencing tectonic shifts in their industries, and/or are interested in overhauling their business models to be more competitive.
5. What to do to make my digital transformation successful?
Successful digital transformations require strategies and methods. These include strongly defined business process management, a comprehensive organizational change management strategy, firm executive sponsorship and technological creativity and objectivity. Because these types of initiatives entail more risk and change than a more technologically-driven initiative, the people and business process aspects of the change are particularly important. It is important to invest in the right resources and activities to make these projects successful.
Hope this would clear your idea towards digital transformation...
Happy Reading

Hello Team,
To continue my previous post about : why organizations can have problems with ERP implementations.
4. Target figures fall short. Build some flexibility into your planning and budget. ERP implementations can be notorious for invoking Murphy’s Law. Whatever can go wrong, will, it seems. If you are prepared for that, the implementation will be much easier to handle.
5. Silos separate different departments. That is the last thing you want; ERP should be used to unify activities among different departments but, oftentimes, IT tries to adapt the ERP to what each individual department is presently doing. The result – chaos. Remind IT, we’re using ERP to bring everybody together.
To insure, everybody gets on the same beat, leading ERP providers will introduce you to partners that specialize in implementing their ERP. Use them. They are trained and experienced in implementing your final choice. In most cases, they have already helped avoid one of the hazards discussed.

Hello Team,
To continue my previous post about : why organizations can have problems with ERP implementations.
3. Training keeps being put off. If training is kept waiting until the implementation is complete, all that does is extend the implementation timeline. It’s best to start training people from the beginning. Teach your people what ERP is, what it does and how what they do impacts others. It unlocks the mysteries of ERP for all types of business people from engineers to salespeople, project leaders, buyers and other company managers.

Always Keep a tap on Training people effectively and properly.

Hello Team,
To continue my previous post about : why organizations can have problems with ERP implementations.
2. The project lacks leadership. Since ERP affects every department within the organization, the implementation project needs buy-in throughout the company, especially from top management. Somebody also needs to head up the project. This person needs to be the hub of the project, being involved in all discussions, and being at the center of all ex*****on.
As ERP affects all the departments, so single point of contact is very important.He is the KEY personal in an organization. Every module of ERP has its own standard process. And every module's transaction at the end affects Accounts module for financial transactions. So, a person who is actively present in all the meetings, discussions, future plans etc.. should be their in an organization. Who will guide at each and every step towards implementation of ERP in an Organization.

I recently come across a blog which shares, the piece quickly and concisely picks out few reasons why organizations can have problems with ERP implementations. I thought that we should have knowledge about them.

1. The Wrong Solution Was Selected.
Before making your final selection, be sure to align business needs with the specific capabilities of your ERP finalists. For instance, if you are a manufacturer, does the winning ERP have the MRP, scheduling, requisitioning and cost control attributes that you need?
So, before finalizing your ERP you should figure out your needs, your requirements, your expectations as the end of the implementation of ERP in your organization. You should be clear about your process. It's not a ERP software will guide your organization. Instead your process your work flow should well defined so that ERP should work according to your needs. When implementing any ERP without having proper resources and knowledge about your process led to the failure of ERP in an organization.

We will discuss everyday one point.

Many small to mid-sized companies believe that they can do without an ERP system. They believe that their operation is simple enough that they can control it with a few spreadsheets. Often, this is simply not the case. Here are 10 of the most compelling reasons to implement an ERP system.

1. Real-time information for decisions

Without an ERP system, your team is flying blind. They make decisions based on guesswork and rules of thumb because they don’t have the data they need. Sometimes they are the right decisions, but more often, they are sub-optimum decisions that can cost you money and customer goodwill.

2. Best practice procedures

Software companies often design their ERP systems to support specific industries or verticals. As they add customers, they learn industry best practices and incorporate them into the software. By implementing an ERP system designed for your industry, you automatically make your business processes more efficient.

3. Improved visibility

If customers want to know when their order will ship or if you need to know whether you have enough of a critical component to accept a rush order, an ERP system gives you instant visibility into your operations and your supply chain.

4. Faster month-end close

ERP systems automatically process transactions and generate audit trails and financial reports that can simplify period-end closings. They flag anomalies so you can investigate quickly, and they simplify repetitive journal entries and other activities that make closing so complex and time consuming. Faster closes mean you know the health of your business sooner.

5. Increased customer satisfaction

Customers like accurate delivery dates, and ERP can help you provide them with improved inventory and shop floor visibility. In addition, the increased visibility and accuracy will help you improve your DIFOT rate (delivery in full on time), which helps keep customers happy.

6. Managed and controlled costs

ERP systems calculate and collect costs so you always have an accurate picture of your product cost and margins.

7. Better operational efficiency

By helping you to plan production more effectively, your operational efficiency will improve as you reduce setups and teardowns or unnecessary downtime.

8. Accurate records

The uniformity of record data that an ERP system instills will help ensure that your records are more accurate, which will increase process accuracy across the board.

9. Balance of supply and demand

MRP, a component of ERP systems, will help you balance supply and demand so you can reduce inventory while keeping customers happy.

10. Reduced lead times and increased throughput

Better scheduling and accurate records ensure that your schedules focus on priorities, leading to shorter lead times. Since you won’t have as many orders waiting for tooling or parts, your throughput will increase.
