Solution

Building on this insight we have been able to define the target digital operating model and develop a credible cost case to inform strategic decisions.

The digital operating model is divided in 5 key areas: eCommerce & Website, Mobile App, CRM, Content, In-Store Technology.

For each area the team identified a number of tactical initiatives instrumental to deliver customer value, either directly or acting as key enablers. These initiatives have then been prioritized (how – weighting positive business impacts and strategic importance versus cost, complexity and organizational readiness).

For each area we have identified: List of projects and initiatives to start in 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, expected positive impact of each initiative, technological impact, interested divisions within the company, expected cost, detailed plan. In the process of defining the customer journey the team has considered the dependencies existing among different projects, as well as the impact on cash flow and organizational resources that the company will have to bear over the course of the transformation program.

Benefits
