Start your journey
This self-guided online course introduces a process to identify impactful changes that address your challenges and deliver on your objectives. We’ll help you objectively assess your current processes and future vision to reveal your best opportunities for digital interventions. You’ll then create an initial action plan to drive meaningful improvements through suitable digital strategies and solutions. The course format means you’re free to learn at your own pace, in your own space, whenever suits you best. As you progress, an interactive template helps you immediately apply your new knowledge and understanding to your business’s specific circumstances and challenges. Once complete, this tool enables you to confidently engage with internal teams and external support to begin your journey towards effective digitalisation.
Focus on the right goals – and the insight that data can provide about them
A plan for success should always start with the end goal in mind. What are your key business aims? Which pain points are holding you back? And how does your current data flow relate to them?
No matter where you are in your digitalisation journey today, there will be actions you can take to deliver improvements. We’ll show you how to find the right steps for your business.
Take an honest look at where you are now (even if you’re paper-based) and set a realistic vision of where you’d like to go
Our digital capability maturity assessment will help you pinpoint the gap between where you are now and where you could be. We’ll guide you to define a realistic and achievable future state that directly impacts your KPIs and business aims.
Small gains and quick wins are just as important as longer-term strategic projects. So, even if you’re entirely paper-based and rely wholly on the know-how of your team, there are digital steps you can take to elevate your business performance.
Create a personalised action plan of short- and long-term goals so you’re ready to take your first positive steps towards successful digitalisation
Focusing on your specific goals and narrowing down the options based on objective assessments of your current state will guarantee a targeted approach to your digital action plan. It also helps you effectively engage external support to shape a more detailed digital roadmap.
You’ll see how both quick wins and larger investment solutions can be considered as key parts of a strategy to enhance your business, and how to set out a realistic action plan for implementing digital capability to enhance your business’s agility, flexibility and efficiency.
Part 1 – What are the steps to developing a plan?
Part 2 – See the process in action
Throughout the course, you’ll use a specially designed ‘Digital Steps’ template to help you apply your learning to your own business situation. So on completion, you’ll have a framework action plan to build on with your team. The template will be a valuable tool as you engage with external support, helping keep your digitalisation journey on track and aligned to your business aims.
