The intense debate on Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0 in recent years has been a source of concern for many small and medium-sized enterprises: Should I fully digitise my business now? What should I start with? What are the right technologies for me? Do I even have the necessary requirements and resources? In this context, policy makers, professional associations and research institutes, among others, have developed various maturity models to help businesses to somehow “light up the darkness” of digital transformation.
The ADAPTION Digital Maturity Model, is based on a socio-technical approach, which emphasises the interdependence of its three dimensions: Technology, Organization and Personnel (T-O-P). If one dimension, e.g. technology, changes, it usually means that changes are required in the other two dimensions. The socio-technical approach ensures that the transformation process is considered in its entirety.
As part of the implementation of the Model, Digital Coaches will support a small selection of companies in developing and implementing digital business models in respective workshops. In doing so, they will in particular leverage cross-client and cross-sector approaches to enable new business opportunities and spread agile process thinking with the involvement of all process stakeholders. The central objective is to promote the acceptance of digital transformation strategies in the context of Industry 4.0. In this respect, Digital Coaches use – with cedar for businesses – their knowledge of value creation networks and their changes through digital transformation.
