Shape a Digital Enterprise Strategy
CLIENT STORY__________________________________________
Challenge
A national supplier of fresh baked goods was seeking to fuel profitable growth by leveraging technology to enhance consumer engagement while streamlining its operations.
Engagement
Big Question:
​
"How will we accelerate profitable growth
with a digital enterprise strategy?"
Based on the company 5-year strategic plan, we designed a series of co-design sessions with the Executive Council session which shaped a digital enterprise strategy. The focus was enhanced differentiation and engagement with distributors, retail customers and end consumers. Included were a vision and roadmap to enable two strategic imperatives:
-
Creating demand and brand loyalty by shaping the customer (retailer) and end consumer experiences based on data-driven investments - better integrating, curating, analyzing, and acting on data-fueled market insights.
-
Enhancing business agility and profitability through a supply chain shift with streamlined processes and automation with investment based on advanced analytics.

Engagement
Big Question:
​
"By working better together, how we can accelerate
our business strategy and expected outcomes?"
Interviews with senior executives at the bank revealed the magnitude of the complexity challenge to shift how they deliver services in concert with 10 strategic suppliers. We shaped the challenge into three focal areas to be jointly tackled with the 10 partners:
-
Idea to Production in a Day - foster DevSecOps powered innovation.
-
Client & Partner Integration - end-to-end service flow.
-
Future Digital Capabilities - right-skilling of the human capital.
We formed multi-partner workgroups to tackle each focus areas and advance of a workshop, sharing their findings and recommendations for business improvement.
We facilitated a 2-day integrated planning session with the bank leadership and 20 partner participants to review/refine the workstreams and develop a roadmap of actions & owners to garner the needed board-level support for the transformation.
