Projects are not
transformations
Projects apply
technology to
existing business
processes for
operational
improvement
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 6
Transformations
are more
strategic
Transformations
require rethinking
the underlying
operating model to
achieve business
impact
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 7
With Projects Technology Rules
With
Transformation
Business
Outcomes Rule
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 8
Knowing the difference between the
two matters
Transformations run as projects:
 Don’t scale
 Take way too long to implement
 Fail to achieve the desired business impact
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 9
3 categories of potential impact for
automation technologies
 IT improvements
 Operational efficiencies
 Customer experience
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 10
IT improvements are only a start
 Faster data center and cloud
operations
 Reduced errors
 Greater consistency
 Enhanced security
 Reduced cost
IT as a better
utility
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 11
Operational efficiencies broaden impact
of automation
 Improved quality of service
– Increased speed of delivery
– Reduced errors
– Greater consistency
 Reduced cost
IT as an
efficiency
enabler
in the business
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 12
Greatest impact comes from
transforming customer experience
 Transform business process
 Transform the customer
experience
 Enable new value proposition
 Transform cost structure
IT as a
business
value creator
Proprietary & Confidential. © 2017, Everest Global, Inc. 13
Several non-technology related elements
amplify value
 Alignment of stakeholders – in advance
 Enabling culture
 Adjusted risk tolerance
 Measurement against business results
