数字化转型最佳实践的执行摘要
作者：埃里克·金伯林（Eric Kimberling ）| 2021 年 5 月 31 日 | 数字化转型 | 0 条评论 在深入研究最佳实践之前，充分了解什么是数字化转型非常重要。在高层次上，当企业在其组织中实施新软件时，就会发生数字化转型。然而，根据组织的不同，数字化转型的真正内容和外观可能会随着环境而变化。根据业务的特点，每次数字化转型都可能需要进行全面的业务分析，以了解成功所需的条件、克服陷阱并避免常见的故障点。 尽管数字化转型对不同的组织具有不同的意义，但相同的最佳实践始终适用于不同的转型。 软件选择 每家企业都是独一无二的，在数字化转型方面，没有“一刀切”的软件选择或实施策略。相反，软件实施应与业务的未来状态保持一致，比如 5 到 10 年。将您的组织选择的软件视为跨越公司当前状态和未来状态之间差距的桥梁。对于某些人来说，正确的软件是一个广泛的、提供全方位服务的 ERP 系统，而对于其他人来说，它可能是同类最佳的特定软件，例如 CRM 或 HCM。 若要了解最适合公司的软件范围，深入了解公司的内部情况则很重要。您是在寻求增量改进还是传统改进，或是完全重新考虑您的商业模式？确定前进的道路，然后以与您的业务模型一致的方式执行软件实施。 不要走捷径 在数字化转型方面，有五个需要解决的常见陷阱。 被忽视的变革管理 战略目标的错位 系统集成商的管理 业务流程不明确 数据迁移困难 在数字化转型的这五个挑战中，只有一个与技术有关。数以千计的公司采用相同的技术，虽然有些公司在实施中取得了成功，但许多公司却以失败告终。实施的成功将在很大程度上取决于流程和人员。应对这些挑战的方法通常需要时间、精力和金钱——项目领导最常走捷径的三件事，无论是有意或是无意。当数字化转型的某些因素预算不足时，运营中断很可能发生在上线时。 企业往往会在不考虑长期影响的情况下尝试最小化成本，例如修复发布期间发生的错误需要多少成本。事实上，51%-54% 的企业在上线时经历了重大的运营中断，大多数企业面临着整体数字化转型初期投资的增加。简而言之，成功的企业将在早期为他们的数字化转型提供宽松的预算，以避免大规模的财务和技术问题。 关注员工 事后看来，企业认为他们在技术上花了太多钱而在适当的组织变革管理上花费的钱太少，这太普遍了。一个行之有效的概念是，当领导力涌入团队成员并帮助他们的团队采用新流程和技术时，成功率会更高。 测试，测试，测试 企业中有几个关键变量对运营中断影响最大。通常，这些变量与流程和人员有关，而不是与技术有关。这些变量包括： 明确定义的业务流程 对组织变革和培训的投资 关键利益相关者和数字化转型项目团队之间的行政协调水平 在验收测试和会议室试点期间花费的时间和精力 必须确保明确定义业务流程。对您的业务以及由此产生的软件实施将对它所涉及的每个流程进行的组织评估只是难题的一部分。您的运营在新平台上遇到的每个场景都必须经过端到端测试。这样做，您可以确保在新软件上线之前填补所有漏洞并解决所有潜在问题。通过测试实时数据和预测曲线球在比赛中取得领先，可以在重要的地方防止操作失败。 快速提示 真正让全面数字化转型成功的原因有很多。除了上述内容外，请确保将这些小贴士也放在您的后袋中。 以业务驱动技术。业务流程的改进应该是实施新技术和软件选择背后的驱动力，这将使您的组织为未来几年的发展做好准备。 对时间、成本和资源设定切合实际的期望。谨防行业炒作或顾问在多个方向拉动。为您的数字化转型设定一个舒适的节奏并掌控您的数字化转型，而不是依赖第三方来指导您完成整个过程。 在任何数字化转型中始终优先考虑人员和流程，并且知道永远不会有灵丹妙药。没有任何一种技术或策略可以解决您的运营问题。 说明成功的数字化转型的实例还有很多，如果您不清楚应该做什么，那么获得值得信赖的有关此类能力的项目指导非常重要。如果您对软件实施和数字化转型的最佳实践有很多疑问，请随时与直接我联系。 我会很高兴成为您和您的团队的非正式测试人。
