Uncoordinated efforts for initiatives within organizational siloes:

  • Fail to improve the stakeholder experience on end-to-end journeys.
  • Do not yield sticky improvements that continue to reap rewards long after the initiative has been put in place.

Establishing a digital operating model around end-to-end journeys will help you:

  • Increase customer satisfaction with your products and services.
  • Move the needle on critical KPIs for the business.
  • Increase employee satisfaction with your internal processes.
  • Shorten time-to-market for new products and features.
