Digital technologies have transformed the way we interact and work. An open culture and candid communication between the employees and executive management builds mutual rapport and trust, which is essential for timely and effective decision making in these changing times. Organizations have already started embracing flat and lean organizational structures with decentralized decision-making authorities across the board, or at specific departments.
Companies are experimenting with unique operating structures devoid of any defined hierarchy, strategy, management, or titles; and have witnessed better results. These "digital native" structures are not likely to be implemented everywhere but should not be ignored by the leadership.
This deck elucidates on the 4 operating models of Digital Organizations, which should be painstakingly evaluated and tried to be incorporated by traditional organizations to become digital savvy:
1. The Tactical Model
2. The Centralization Model
3. The Champion Model
4. The Business As Usual (BUA) Model
These digital organizational models provide a foundation for the leadership to develop their own structure to achieve digital maturity.
This deck also provides a brief snapshot of the Digital Readiness Diagnostic Framework and the 5 evaluation areas to assess the digital readiness and maturity of an organization:
1. Strategy and Leadership
2. Customer Engagement
3. Products and Services
4. Organization and Talent
5. Digital Operations
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The PPT also delves into the practical application of these models, offering a detailed analysis of how companies can leverage digital technologies to foster innovation and streamline operations. It includes diagnostic tools to assess your organization's digital readiness, ensuring you can identify gaps and areas for improvement. The templates provided are designed to facilitate the implementation of these models, making it easier for your team to transition to a digital-first approach. This resource is essential for leaders aiming to drive digital transformation and stay competitive in an ever-evolving business landscape.

This PPT slide presents an overview of the Tactical Digital Organizational Model, emphasizing how organizations utilize digital technologies in a fragmented manner. It highlights that various digital tools—like digital marketing and online sales channels—are employed to enhance operational efficiency and create value. However, these efforts are often not aligned with a broader strategic vision, leading to investments that are significant yet lack coherence.
The text indicates that while companies may invest heavily in digital initiatives, these are typically siloed within different business units. This means that the potential of digital technologies is not fully realized across the organization. The core message is that digital is not viewed as central to the business, with only a limited number of individuals understanding the full scope of its challenges and opportunities.
The slide also notes that many organizations aspire to establish a digital market presence, but fail to develop a comprehensive digital strategy. This lack of strategic direction can hinder their ability to adapt to changing market conditions. The implication is clear: companies must evolve their approach to digital to ensure that it is not just a tactical afterthought, but a fundamental aspect of their operational strategy.
Overall, the slide serves as a cautionary note for organizations relying on a tactical approach to digital transformation. It underscores the need for a more integrated and strategic use of digital technologies to fully harness their potential and drive business success.
