Organizations’ digital transformation—toward a systematic approach to organizations’ digital transformation
Rapidly evolving, emerging digital technologies create opportunities for
organizations, but simultaneously, organizations are hesitant to embed and
deploy novel digital technologies in their activities. Organizations consider that
novel digital technologies contain uncertainties and that the process of digital
transformation is multifaceted and complex. This dissertation investigates
organizations’ digital transformation (ODT) and examines the elements that
improve robust deployment of novel digital technologies within organizations.
This dissertation based on qualitative research methods contributes to the
literature on ODT and draws on findings from selected research papers. This
dissertation presents a proposed framework for ODT formulated around four
main dimensions: strategy, technology, governance, and stakeholders, each
complemented by sub-elements. The ODT framework’s dimensions and subelements
have interlinked relationships, and the objective of the framework is to
provide a systematic approach to carrying out ODT in an effective way. The
strategy dimension highlights top management’s long-term commitment and
involvement in creating digital leadership and cultures that increase
organizations’ digital maturity to deliver digital transformation. The strategy
dimension acknowledges digital technologies’ impacts on organizations’
processes and structures and evaluates the investment needs, risks, and
disruptiveness caused by novel technologies in business models and value
networks. The technology dimension focuses on digital technologies and the
creation of technology experimental practices embedded in either organizations’
current activities or separate business units. The technology dimension supports
organizations in discovering testable business cases and considering vertical and
horizontal scopes and data collection. The governance dimension refers to the
robust deployment of novel digital technologies by setting measurable indicators
to monitor the outcomes of digital transformation. Finally, the stakeholder
dimension encompasses the relevant stakeholders, business models, and value
propositions of ODT.
