As our customers move online, it's only natural that we follow them. But with technology evolving faster than ever, it can be hard to keep up – Especially if all of your actions are reactionary.

So, how do you stop following your customers and start leading them?

First, you need to get your team and stakeholders aligned.

For branded, B2B and e-commerce projects

ACCELERATED DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

If you have any of these issues, it may be time to reassess your digital offering:

Fragmented customer experiences
Inconsistent digital strategy & marketing channels
Outdated websites & integrated technology
Aimless online branding
Non-existent data planning, CRM and automation
Poor lead funnels and conversion rate optimisation
Lacklustre e-commerce sales
A need for agency shortlisting and selection
A lack of culture, stakeholder and teamwork alignment

You're not the first to stare down these problems. And to fix them quickly, you'll have to do something rather counterintuitive.

To accelerate your digital transformation, you need to slow down.

The first step in any effective digital transformation is an effective planning process. This planning should be customer focused and work towards aligning all leaders and executives in the same direction.

By taking the time to analyse your customer, your strategy and your current positioning, you’ll be able to accelerate to a much faster implementation speed later in the process. And through gaining a thorough understanding of your customer, you can focus on improving the customer experiences that positively affect your sales growth.

SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP

Turning Leaf are experts in planning effective digital transformation strategies. By developing specific Transformation Action Plans (TAPs) you can sidestep common speed bumps and use your strengths to go above and beyond customer expectations.

WHY YOU'LL FAIL

Catastrophes, calamities, mistakes and tragedies.

A lot of things can go wrong.

When you hear of project costs being blown out of the water and web builds being pushed back from days to months to years, the source of the problem is often simple – the leaders didn’t take the time to give a proper brief to the people building their digital initiative.

Yes, it will take some time to prepare a brief. And explaining a brief in person is much more inconvenient than sending it through email.

However, slowing down in the preparation stage of any project will save you time during the build.

Guaranteed.

WHAT DIGITAL SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Proper planning comes with a range of repercussions:

Completing builds on time (or EVEN finishing a project early)
Alignment between leaders, executives, the board of directors and external agents
Gaining competitive advantages
Customer focussed transformations – greatly improving customer experiences
Decreased project build and development costs
Creation of specific customer journeys and sales funnels
Measures to evaluate project performance
Creation of quality data and CRM systems
Conversion rate optimisation
And more sales...

CAN YOU DO IT ALONE?

You can transform your business on your own. We know you can, but, according to McKinsey, 70% of digital transformation initiatives don't reach their goals.

There are many reasons why these initiatives don't succeed. But the real issue is that these failures are totally avoidable.
