Adopting Methodologies & Frameworks to Accelerate Time to Digital Transformation Value

Sree Sundaram — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 20:51:54 +0000

Holistyx Principal Andrew Wolff discusses how adopting an operating methodology accelerates time to value of a digital transformation program. Frameworks and Methodologies are defined and a distinction is made between them. Time to value is reduced between 40-60% when compared to non-methodology driven programs which results in an additional increase in IRR of at least 20%. Such a reduction also helps to sustain program momentum thereby increasing chances of success. Key components of a good methodology and some considerations in landing the right methodology for the organization are also discussed.
