What we love about the Digital OneOffice\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0is the simple fact it not only defines “digital”, but it also provides a meaningful framework, comprising of five fundamentals<\/em>, that must come together to create a real-time flow of data across customers, partners and employees:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Click to Enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Fundamental\u00a01) – Fostering genuine Digital Customer, Partner and Employee Engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n

A genuine \u201cdigital\u201d organization has the ability to take all the cool social, mobile and interactive tech we use in our personal lives and create that experience for all the people<\/em> in its environment – its employees, customers, and partners \u2013 and empower them to interact with each other seamlessly, and in real-time.<\/p>\n

The outcome is all about creating, supporting and sustaining an immersive customer experience, where all touchpoints across an organization are tied to serving the customer as effortlessly and seamlessly as possible (and often not necessitating any actual human to human interaction). These \u201cimmersive\u201d customer experiences are about leveraging these omnichannels (typically mobile, social, interactive technologies) and creating meaningful analytics from these converged datasets that make this real-time digital experience happen<\/em> for the organization and its customers, its employees and its partners, right up and down the supply chain. The OneOffice\u00a0<\/sup>organization needs a\u00a0support function\u00a0to service those customers, get its products\/services to market when they want them, manage\u00a0the financial metrics, understand their needs and future demands and make sure it has the talent which truly understands how to meet the desired outcomes of their work.<\/p>\n

Fundamental\u00a02) – Embedding Design Thinking Techniques to achieve Continuous Digital Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Design Thinking offers an approach for a diverse group of people to work together to identify and articulate a common problem, brainstorm ideas for addressing it, quickly prototype\/wireframe\/storyboard and test it, and continue to iterate on the idea as it takes shape into a proposed solution. A Design Thinking led approach to designing a Digital OneOffice framework moves the focus of the operations executive and service provider partner away from the process itself, and the internal, \u201cwhat\u2019s wrong inside of what we do\u201d to \u201cwhat do we actually want to achieve\u201d (the business outcome), and what do we want people to feel and do naturally that will lead to further engagement and new\u2014and different\u2014results.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At HfS, we are finding that Design Thinking is actually changing the way many clients and service providers work, that there is a real complement between designers, consultants, engineers, and service delivery as organizations seek to bring the front, middle and back offices closer together to achieve common outcomes. Moreover, it\u2019s vital that Design Thinking is firmly embedded as the method for ongoing<\/em> engagement across all organizational stakeholders, as outcomes constantly evolve as markets evolve and business needs change.<\/p>\n

Fundamental\u00a03) – Building a Scaleable Digital Underbelly that Automates, Digitizes, Cloudifies and Secures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every siloed dataset restricts the analytics insight that makes process owners strategic contributors to the business. You can\u2019t create value or transform a business operation without converged, real-time data. Digitally-driven organizations must create a\u00a0Digital Underbelly\u00a0<\/em>to support the front office by automating manual processes, digitizing manual documents to create converged datasets, and embraces the cloud in a way that enables\u00a0genuine scalability\u00a0and security for a digital organization. Organizations simply cannot be effective with a digital strategy\u00a0without automating processes intelligently – forget all the hype around robotics and jobs going away, this is about making processes\u00a0run digitally\u00a0so smart organizations can grow their digital businesses and\u00a0create\u00a0new work and opportunities. This is akin to a \u201ccentral\u00a0nervous system\u201d\u00a0that incepts and processes all the elements necessary to make the organization function.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fundamental\u00a04) – Achieving an Intelligent Digital Support Function without Hierarchies and Silos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enterprises need their support functions such as IT, finance, HR and supply chain, aligned with supporting the customer experience, as opposed to operating in a \u201cvacuum\u201d. We are terming this \u201dIntelligent Digital Support,\u201d where broader roles are created and human performance is aligned with the achievement of common business outcomes. With the Digital OneOffice, the focus needs to shift towards creating a work culture where individuals are encouraged to spend more time interpreting data, understanding the needs of the front end of the business and ensuring the support functions keep pace with the front office.\u00a0This is especially the case in industries that are more dependent than ever on real-time data, using multiple channels to reach their customers and being able to think out-of-the-box to get ahead of disruptive business models.<\/p>\n

Progressive OneOffice enterprises prefer flat structures, where staff naturally collaborate in autonomous, cross-functional teams motivated by shared outcomes. They look towards much more dynamic management, where managers and staff constantly interact to fine-tune performance against evolving outcomes and manage diverse workforces across global cultures.<\/p>\n

Fundamental\u00a05) – Establishing\u00a0Intelligent, Cognitive Processes that Promote Predictive Decision Making<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Digital OneOffice is not about collecting and archiving historical data simply to discover what went wrong, it’s about being able to\u00a0predict\u00a0when things will<\/em> go wrong and devising smart strategies to get ahead of them. The Digital OneOffice is about embedding smart cognitive applications into process chains and workflows, it\u2019s about learning from mistakes and new experiences along the way. This is the \u201corganization\u00a0neural\u00a0system\u201d. Cognitive technologies, advanced analytics and automation help create the capability necessary to operate in digital environments by automating and extracting the data needed real-time to respond to markets, support critical decisions and stay ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

The Bottom Line: The secret sauce of the Digital OneOffice is the sum<\/em> of the Five Fundamentals as one integrated experience, not merely the quality\u00a0of individual fundamentals themselves<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When we conducted the Digital OneOffice Premier League<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year, we focused on the ability of service providers to deliver each fundamental, and the winners were those who scored highest as an aggregate across the five. When we re-run this in the future, the Digital OneOffice framework should be mature enough to evaluate outcomes based on the ability of providers and their clients to create the most effective real-time digital experience, by\u00a0managing the five fundamentals as one integrated<\/em> organization unit, where teams function autonomously across front, middle and back office functions and processes to promote real-time data flows and rapid decision making, based on meeting defined outcomes.<\/p>\n

And front, middle and back offices will cease to exist, as they will be, simply, OneOffice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
