“We brought Simon into our business to help us develop a high-level digital strategy. Simon took the time to talk with all the key people in our business, ensuring he fully understood what was important to each of us, and then reviewed the existing technology. We had high expectations about what we’d eventually receive back from Simon, and we weren’t disappointed. He produced a superb infographic that took us on a journey from our current level of clarity to a place where we could see how our technology could fully support our business. Simon was easy to work with and a great listener. As the CEO, I’d recommend him highly to anyone seeking a smart, tech-savvy consultant. - Chief Executive, Student Job Search.

Frequently asked questions for Digital Transformation

There are similarities and crossovers - the main difference is that Strategic Roadmaps are more encompassing of the business and look to all aspects where as Digital Transformation is more targeted at existing manual or digital system(s) that needed to be digitised or improved. Both are business focused to ensure alignment with your business objectives.

  • Using the word transformation can be grandiose, transformations can be any size. The purpose is to move a manual process to digital or to improve and existing digital process. This means information technology will be required, hardware, software or both.

  • The thing to be cognizant about is being business driven. Digital Transformations need to be justified based on the investment, risk and benefit to the business. It’s easy to get caught up in a “wash” - Cloud wash, AI wash, etc. These are enablers for the business not justifications in their own right. Avoid FOMO and step back, what are you trying to improve that is business related? Adding AI because you think everyone is doing it will lead to costly and potentially negative outcomes for your business.

  • Fair call, businesses are very varied. At Arben we put the tech aside and talk to you about the business, especially why you exist. Arben will not engage in any purely technical discussion, we leave that to IT Vendors trying to sell you something. Arben are technology agnostic, once we have understood you and identified business improvements, we can then talk about solutions which most often include people and process first, the technology enablers can then be identified.

  • Arben do consider the technology carefully, especially what you already have. We have a “mini” service called Start, Stop, Continue that helps you understand your business digital landscape. This identifies stuff you are doing well and should Continue, stuff that’s adding no value and often obfuscating things so should Stop, and new stuff that will really help, the Start part - all pragmatic and cost effective, no unnecessary tech.
