Is the incumbent business model maximizing returns to shareholders from the customer value being generated by the enterprise? Furthermore, is the customer value sufficient to keep the enterprise competitive?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0One challenge is working out how to articulate the business model into outcomes, capabilities, processes and mechanisms. One of the things the team at Newton Day helps with are Sprint Workshop programs to get through this &#8216;recognition of needs&#8217; phase as expediently as possible without compromising on accuracy and detail.\u00a0 It&#8217;s essential that enterprises really fundamentally understand who their customers are, what they value and what it takes to deliver results.<\/p>\n<p>Next, a project team and plan has to be constructed..\u00a0 This should comprise of a blended team of organizational design, HR, risk, legal, IT, marketing, analyst and program management experts.\u00a0 Whether these individuals are contracted in, or are assigned from existing resources, it&#8217;s better to measure their contribution as a team and reward it.\u00a0 In my opinion, the best governance model for digital platform projects is to have a regular Project Leadership Group (PLG) of senior execs reporting directly into the board and then support this with a Project Steering Group (PSG).<\/p>\n<p>Once this stage is complete, the work to develop the technology ecosystem begins.\u00a0 This starts with stakeholder workshops and normally, having mapped out the bigger game plan,\u00a0 projects focus on delivering a point of detail; an aspect of the current business model that can be improved that is seen to be a quick win.\u00a0 Gaining early results gives everyone inside and outside the project team confidence in the value of the program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, back to the original point:<\/strong> Can a business expect to do all of this without the CEO leading it?\u00a0 Or, put another way, would a CEO <em>not want<\/em> to be leading such a strategically important initiative that will be the source of the enterprises income in future years?\u00a0 I would argue not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.4&#8243;][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=&#8221;If you&#8217;ve never seen LIVE WIREFRAME in action&#8230;&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; button_one_text=&#8221;Book a Fireside Chat&#8221; button_one_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.encanvas.com\/meet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22.7&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;link_option_url&#8221; title_font=&#8221;Montserrat|600|||||||&#8221; content_font=&#8221;Montserrat|300|||||||&#8221; content_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; content_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_button_one=&#8221;on&#8221; button_one_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; button_one_icon=&#8221;%%36%%&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybCIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7fX0=@&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not already using a code-less design environment then maybe you should\u00a0see it for yourself.
