Everyone acknowledges that orchestrating organizational change is a crucial component of successful business transformations, so why is it always the Achilles heel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Business Transformation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many organizations have struggled to meet the challenges of the modern business landscape, where stakeholder and customer needs and demands continue to change dramatically and new market entrants threaten disruption. Companies need to ask themselves the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • \u201cWhat would our organization look like if it had been designed in the last 10 or 20 years?”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u201cIn what different ways might an organization like that create value?”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • “What customers would it serve and how?”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • “How might you work backwards from that vision to build a roadmap for bringing your digitally transformed organization to life, properly leveraging the assets and value they already have in hand?”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Customer-led Transformation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    No matter how digital organizations become, it will still be humans who ultimately run the organization. Many organizations – some digitally native and some not \u2013 understand and treat their humans well. But we\u2019ve also<\/em> observed that some of those companies have lost track of some equally important humans outside of their organization: their customers! The products, services and experiences they are offering are frustrating the very people who will ultimately determine the survival of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These organizations need to change dramatically to continue to have relevance in the marketplace. They need to inculcate a customer-centric mindset and identify if skills gaps are preventing them from creating more relevant products and experiences. They need to understand where and how their operating model might need to change to support the kinds of pivots and adaptations needed to reconnect with customers and other important stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prophet\u2019s Human-Centered Transformation Model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We view all organizations as a macrocosm of the individual: having a collective DNA, Body, Mind and a Soul. An organization’s culture needs to be understood as a holistic ecosystem and successful transformation today requires leaders to think about every aspect of this ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n
