But transformation is not just about technology innovations and their disruption on the business. It is also about how these technological innovations are adopted and used.\u00a0 Do these innovations bring value to the organization? Are they easily adopted or is the organization experiencing difficulties integrating this new technology? This brings us to the next factor: customer behavior. What are the customer demands and expectations of the business (and the demands on technology to meet business needs)? Customers demand increased technological capabilities combined with the desire for ease of use.\u00a0 And finally, organizations have to deal with external influences such as regulatory laws, changing economy, market competition, and business partner demands.<\/p>\n<p>A Forrester Consulting research study commissioned by Accenture Interactive\u00a0found that the key drivers of digital transformation are profitability, customer satisfaction, and increased speed-to-market. To further clarify, the study asked decision-makers about their broad strategic priorities over the next year.\u00a0 The number one choice was \u201cimproving the experience of customers, \u201d followed by growing revenues, improving differentiation, and reducing costs. In my experience, this is easier said than done. Reminds me of what I used to tell my clients when I ran a software development company: &#8220;You can get it done cheap, done well, or done quickly.

It impacts not only industry structures and strategic positioning but it affects all levels of an organization (every task, activity, process) and even its extended supply chain.
