1<\/span> Digital transformation is achieved by doing it<\/h2>\nWhereas many CEO\u2019s and managers consider digital transformation to be a \u2018cultural\u2019 thing, some abstract concept they\u2019re trying to imprint in their employees\u2019 minds, I believe in \u2018digital transformation by doing it\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\nWith these abstract concepts, you only create a future problem. Initially, everyone will be at the same wavelength. However, eventually you\u2019ll see that each employee just did whatever they thought was right and no one has truly understood each other.<\/span><\/p>\n2<\/span> Forget about expensive consultants<\/h2>\nBecause whether you\u2019re working at the MKB or for a multinational, you\u2019re more versatile than you probably think. And nine out of ten times you really don\u2019t need some expensive strategical consultant. As long as you don\u2019t want to achieve too many things at once.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.secondcompany.nl\/app\/uploads\/2018\/10\/expensive-consultant.jpg\")

3<\/span> Start with a concrete project<\/h2>\nSucceed, learn from it and roll out the next project. Digitalising your business does not have to happen at once. It\u2019s much easier to achieve in a couple of smaller steps. Start digitalisation where demand is the highest and start working from there, from inside out. That\u2019s how your employees can get used to the new procedure and your processes will suffer as little as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\u2018If can be that easy, why are we still using Navision?!\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
One example of what I\u2019m talking about. We developed a tool for MSQ, investor and service provider within the roof building industry, through which their roofers could immediately create and send their own tenders while still on the scene. On their display, they simply click \u2018gutter replacement\u2019 and enter the specifications. The tool then instantly calculates the working hours and costs of materials and sends the tender to the customer. All of that before the ladder has even been stored away! No more paper administration, shorter waiting periods, reduced costs and more happy customers. msq.nl<\/span><\/p>\nAnd that gives rise to some amazing responses. Martin Mastenbroek from MSQ: \u201cIf it can be that easy, why are we still using Navision?! Now, first of all, I\u2019ll have to make sure we\u2019re ready for this internally\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThat kind of digital transformation.<\/span><\/p>\nSo, if you ask us what \u2018digital transformation\u2019 means, it\u2019s this: concrete IT solutions that help organisations with their core business. It will astound you to see the positive effects on employees\u2019 pride and the enjoyment they experience at their job, caused by these kinds of simple, effective innovations. As long as you keep their experience in mind!<\/span><\/p>\nQuick sprints towards concrete solutions<\/span><\/h2>\n
