A selection of our further approaches for your extended digital transformation needs:
Define Clear Objectives and Vision
Main aspects:
- Articulate a sharp vision that explains why the change is necessary.
- Align the change with the organization’s overall strategy and goals.
Typical formats:

a. Identify the value stream for each process, including all the activities required to deliver the product or service to the customer.
b. Map the value stream to identify non-value-added activities and waste.
c. Calculate the lead time, cycle time, and process efficiency for each value stream.
d. Identify opportunities to eliminate waste and improve process efficiency.
e. Develop a plan to implement process improvements and track progress.
Capability Building
Methodology: Invest in building digital capabilities within the workforce.
Good Practices:
- Skills Development: Provide training and up-skilling programs.

Ethical AI and algorithmic Accountability
Key aspects:
- Outline principles and standards for ethical decision-making in the use of digital technologies.
- Ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems are developed and deployed in an ethical and responsible manner, adhering to principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability.
- This may involve following guidelines such as the EU Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI or the OECD Principles on AI.
