The transformation imperative is urgent, challenging and opportunity-rich

Leaders are reframing their businesses to adapt to a new landscape by innovating their business model, elevating their customer experience, and finding new ways to leverage data and technology. This demands a careful balance: sustaining performance while investing in the skills, technologies and resources to accelerate growth and create new opportunities.

Maximize the success of your transformation

While speed and change are imperatives, businesses can’t afford for their transformation to fail. Those who succeed do more than prosper — they create exponential value that lasts. What we have seen from companies that create exponential value is that they place humans at the center of their organization, leverage technology at speed and innovate at scale

These new drivers of value creation demand a fundamental shift both in how companies reorient to create value and in what they value — agility versus predictability; innovation versus strategic planning; systems thinking versus operating model.

It’s a transformative mindset that also requires the parallel processing of multiple, interdependent time horizons: 70% of effort now to build a foundation for future growth; 20% of effort on new value propositions and optimizing existing capabilities for 12 months from now; and 10% of effort on exploring completely new and disruptive opportunities for the future.
In times of change, companies that experience exponential growth take what we call a “future-back” approach. Leading organizations start by asking, “Will my business still be relevant in 2, 5 or 10 years’ time from now? And how can I grow our competitive advantage with bold and informed decision-making?”

With their purpose as a central guide, they explore the future and their vision, working through future-back scenarios that can flex and adapt, following a path to maintain relevance today — and 15 years from now.
