Episode notes
Decide Your Operating Model First
- Define strategic goals and your future operating model before starting technical implementation.
- Make those decisions yourself so vendors and integrators do not decide how you run your business.
Get Your House In Order First
- Stabilize internal turmoil, reorganizations, and leadership changes before rolling out new technology.
- Avoid running major reorganizations, M&A activity, or executive turnover simultaneously with your transformation.
Less Technology Is Often Better
- Resist buying every module or chasing the newest technology on day one of a transformation.
- Start with a smaller tech footprint and expand capabilities later as part of your roadmap.
