Service Lines : Digital Business Strategy

What's the key to eBusiness success? A digital business strategy that takes advantage of the new business models made possible by the Internet.

You already know that your digital business strategy must be focused on innovation. Not only do you have to understand today's market, you have to anticipate what tomorrow's market will be. You have to be more innovative than everyone else by predicting how the market will change and creating opportunities for change on your own. But there's nothing new about that; any strategic planning expert can handle those issues. Traditional strategic thinkers fail not because they misunderstand the business or the market. Instead they fail because they don't understand and can't apply the new solutions and business models made possible by the digital economy.

That's where we come in. Every firm will need to assess its ability to evolve in the global digital economy. What can eCommerce mean in your firm? How do we recognize and satisfy new customers?

First, recognize that the current view of the Internet as the new "global cash register" is far too narrow. Ecommerce means putting a "For Sale" sign on your product list on a Web site. The global digital economy means recognizing that the Internet is not a cash register, but the new Corporate Nervous System (CNS). The Internet is your new sales force, the place to afford value to "customers" with the information you can provide. It is also the tool to establish a dialogue with large populations and develop the psychographics to know and be the first to market with the products they value most. You use the 'net to make your competition irrelevant!

And second, how you lead your firm to the global digital economy is through implementing new business models that maximize your unique market position. It starts with understanding the new competencies that the Net demands -- you must Sense, Learn, and Adapt(TM).

Sense - the ability to exchange value with customers quickly and efficiently through any media and collect value based information about those customers.

Learn - the ability to assemble timely and meaningful metrics of customer values as they evolve and understand your best business opportunities.

Adapt - the ability to quickly embrace new business models as well as assemble and deliver the products and services that customers value and will pay a premium for.

Moving to the global digital economy is a matter of assessing your S/L/A competencies, designing the business model that takes your organization to the vales of your current and new customer populations, and implementing the strategic plan.
