To become a truly digital business, organisations need a clear strategy that connects their corporate strategy to their IT strategy. A digital strategy defines how products and services are delivered through various channels to customers. It addresses the way business is conducted in a digital world and identifies the technical and organisational capabilities required for success. It also takes into consideration new technologies that have the potential to disrupt or transform business operations. A roadmap is then developed to provide a practical path for the organisation to transition into the digital future.
At Business Aspect, our consultants have real-world work experience and are well-equipped to help organisations with their digital strategy and roadmap development.

Our Digital Strategy and Roadmaps Process
Our process for digital strategy and roadmap development follows a structured approach:
- Current state analysis: We assess the organisation’s current capabilities and how business is conducted currently. We may also conduct competitor analysis, if applicable, to understand the competitive landscape.
- Future vision: We work with the organisation to define a clear vision for becoming a digital business, based on research into how other similar organisations are approaching digital transformation.
- Capabilities required: We identify the technical and organisational capabilities that are necessary for the organisation to succeed as a digital business.
- Delivery options: We provide options for how these capabilities can be delivered, considering factors such as cost, timeline, and feasibility.
- Future and intermediate target state: We define the future and intermediate target state for the identified capabilities, providing a roadmap for implementation.
- Roadmap development: We develop a comprehensive roadmap that outlines the steps, timeline, and resources required to achieve the defined target state.
- Communication: Finally, we work with the organisation to effectively communicate the digital strategy and roadmap to key stakeholders, ensuring alignment and understanding across the organisation.
By following this structured approach, we help organisations develop a clear digital strategy and roadmap that aligns with their business goals and enables them to navigate the digital landscape successfully.
