Digital Strategy

Become an intuitive enterprise: sense and shape markets

​Today's digital and mobile devices provide unprecedented access to information, products and services across a variety of digital channels. Businesses need to create a seamless brand experience, projecting their brand clearly across the many touch points, channels and devices their customers use. They also need to leverage analytics and the wealth of data available in and around the business to sense and shape market opportunities ahead of their competition. Such a digital strategy is an important step toward becoming an intuitive enterprise.

​However, many organizations execute digital transformation through stand-alone initiatives—often developed in organizational silos—that hinder their ability to deliver a consistent omni-channel customer experience and leverage data analytics. Such organizations may be reactionary to customer needs, or responsive at best. An enterprise approach to digital strategy, on the other hand, can help create a seamless customer experience that supports a company's brand, regardless of touch point, channel, or device. It also fosters the transparency and agility necessary to make informed decisions for quick response to rapid market changes. These are the characteristics of an intuitive enterprise, as it senses and shapes markets to continuously redefine the digital frontier.

Ways to create more value

Engage leadership. Digital strategy is a CEO agenda item, often led by a chief digital officer.

Embark on journey thinking. Companies should look at everything through the customers’ eyes and how they interact with the brand across all channels.

Build digital capabilities. Effective digital strategy is less about making one big bet and more about coordinating and integrating many small bets that connect to build “platforms.”

Drive integration. Align processes and people to eliminate silos and increase access to and use of “intuitive” information.

Focus on speed and momentum. Early successes build momentum and secure the buy-in needed for later-stage investments.
