The following article ** Yu Xiangjiang Digital Review, written by Lao Yang.
The construction of enterprise digital transformation is a long process, and it is a process of continuous trial and error, continuous improvement, most traditional enterprises will go through a process from business does not understand, do not support digitalization, to finally embrace digitalization, from the use of a single system to the comprehensive application of platform products, marking the digital construction of enterprises step by step into the deep water area, so at this time enterprise leaders are happy or worried?
The good news is that after years of construction, the digitalization of enterprises has finally begun to take shape; The worries are as follows:
First, the chicken ribs are full of feeling:
Why do businesses feel this way? This is not unrelated to the enterprise's cognition of digitalization, cognition determines the height of digital transformation, and cognitive height determines the depth of application of the system, most of the current traditional enterprises for the depth of system application is always limited, for example, a set of system its functional application rate of 40% is already very good, that is to say, there is a lot of waste in the application of digital system functions, which also means that the cost is wasted, and it also means that the more digital systems are introduced, The greater the waste of digital construction costs, and the huge cost waste in the case that the system does not achieve the expected effect, the value of digitalization is conceivable, and the enterprise digitalization will face the dilemma of continuing to do and not doing under the huge controversy.
Second, there are many isolated islands:
In the process of digital construction, with the passage of time, enterprises will introduce various business systems, while improving some efficiency, the problem of silos has always plagued the digital construction to go furtherThere are several reasons why systems and data silos are formed:
1.The thick departmental wall not only creates management islands, but also invisibly creates system islands;
2.The business department is separated from the information department and introduces various digital systems on its own;
3.The information department carries out digital construction, and the business department does not participate or passively participates, and the integration of technology and business is low;
4.The digital construction of enterprises lacks planning and is highly arbitrary;
5.The investment cost in system integration is too high, and the enterprise does not want to invest or is unwilling to invest;
6.lack of adequate technical support;
From the above, it is not difficult to see that there are many management blockages in most traditional enterprises, and at the same time, it has directly caused a large number of digital blockagesOrganization islands, system islands, and data islands are three mountainsThe direct impact of the pressure is repeated data entry, repeated process approval, and data fragmentation, which not only affects work efficiency, but also makes it difficult to reflect the digital value of enterprises.
In most traditional enterprises, digitalization has entered the deep watersThe problems caused by various irregularities in the early stage have also emerged, which have caused many stuck points and generated a lot of unnecessary costs, for example:
1.In the early stage of digital construction, due to the lack of data awareness, standardization awareness and management capabilities, it takes a lot of time, manpower, and financial resources to clean data after entering the deep water period, and even so, the data quality is difficult to guarantee, and the final effect is mediocreAs the digital construction of enterprises enters the deep water area, there are more needs, more systems, more processes, more platforms, more data, and more natural system interfaces.
3.Enterprise digitalization has entered the deep water area, and employees are becoming more and more dependent on the system, but the business management of some enterprises is not standardized, and there are many personalized scenarios, resulting in a large amount of personalized function development and a sharp rise in costs of each system.
From the above, it is not difficult to see that as the digitalization of enterprises enters the deep water area, if the lack of early planning and process management will directly cause the cost of digital construction to remain high, which will make it more difficult to reflect the value of digitalization at high cost.
Some enterprises have become confused after entering the deep water area of digital construction, although there are many system purchases, but the application is averageKnow that there is a problem in management, but do not know how to improve with digital integration; Although a large amount of data has been generated after years of digitalization, the management still does not trust the system data, and the real data still exists in the traditional ExcelKnowing that data quality needs to be improved to provide a basis for decision-making, but not knowing where to start due to the lack of systematic data management and operational capabilities; AlthoughKnow that there are a lot of data silosIt's painful for employees to apply, but due to the lack of technical skills, they don't have a lot to do with how to get through and how much it costsI don't know the bottom of my heart, so I don't dare to investï¼›Worried that the excessive cost investment will frighten the leaders, and at the same time, they are worried that the management ability is difficult to support the platform function, so that their ability will "explode". So at this timeWhat enterprises need is a clear plan, a correct path, a suitable method, and a professional digital mentor to ensure that enterprises are not confused, lost, or painful in the deep water area of digitalization.
So in the deep water area of digitalization, what do enterprises need to solve the current difficulties and problems?
Lao Yang believes that what is needed is deep integration and complete transformation. Enterprises must recognize the essence of digitalization at this time, and use digital systems to achieve thorough business transformation, if it is said that in the early stage of digital construction is to change consciousness, then in the deep water area of digitalization, enterprises need to change management, organization, and ability, at this time enterprises will enjoy some of the results of digital construction, but may also be abused by various problems of the system, the important thing is to adhere to, integration, transformation, enterprises need to evolve under the blessing of digital systems.
