Digital Transformation (Dig TX)

In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, digital transformation has become a key strategic priority for businesses. As organizations strive to adapt and thrive in this digital age, they’ll likely encounter various challenges that must be navigated effectively.

Digital transformation is not simply about integrating new technologies into an organization’s operations— it requires a holistic shift in how a business operates, engages with staff as well as customers, and delivers value. This comprehensive transformation affects all facets of an organization, from its business model to its culture, and requires significant change management.

Change management is a crucial component of a successful digital transformation. It involves preparing, supporting, and helping individuals and teams within an organization to adopt and adapt to changes. It is a complex task often met with resistance, misunderstanding, and fear. With digital transformation, the scale of change is often large and fast-paced, making change management even more challenging and even more important.

In the face of these complexities, a clear understanding of the potential challenges can help organizations pave a more efficient and successful path toward digital transformation. The journey may be difficult, but with strategic planning, effective change management, and a robust understanding of the challenges, businesses can position themselves for long-term success in the digital era.

Retail Guidance and Mentoring

I have assisted many vendors in the development and enhancement of their product, as well as critical evaluation of their systems. I was commissioned by the Mica group to investigate and propose a new IT platform. I have guided a hardware group (with supporting wholesale warehouse), shoe chains, a music chain, a well established building material supplier group, a leading digital equipment supplier chain, a business office supplies franchise group and a FMCG chain in their Digital Transformation.

I partnered with World Wide Worx in creating TCO evaluation models for Intel and BCX. I also participated in their national road show on business measurement.

I conduct ‘Hands-On Business’ sessions for the SMME segment which addresses the need for easy measurement of critical metrics allowing more proactive understanding of current performance.

I have also had experience in creating benchmark parameters enabling performance measurement, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”.

I am a senior mentor for the ORTJet program and participte in their mentoring evaluation process.
