Digital Strategy Decision-Making

12011

Digitalization is a systematic project. It requires theoretical support and top-level design; it cannot be piecemeal.

In today's world, where the wave of digitalization is sweeping across the globe, companies can no longer avoid the question—digitalization is not about "whether to do it," but "how to do it."
However, many companies' digital projects stop at "buying a few software packages" or "launching a system," thinking they have completed the transformation. Such practices often lead to a quick loss of momentum for the project, ultimately resulting in failure.

Digitalization is a systematic project. It is not just about introducing technology; it is an integrated upgrade of strategy, culture, processes, and organization. Only by starting from top-level design and establishing a unified theoretical framework for digitalization can we avoid the pitfalls of fragmentation, duplication, and short-termism.

1. Digitalization Requires Theoretical Support

The digital construction of enterprises is not a simple accumulation of IT; it must be guided by clear concepts and methodologies. Lacking theory is like building a skyscraper without blueprints—seemingly under construction, but actually directionless.

2. There Must Be Top-Level Design

Top-level design is the steering wheel of digitalization. It determines how resources are allocated, how departments collaborate, and how systems are integrated. Without top-level design, digital projects in enterprises can easily operate independently, creating new information silos.

3. It Cannot Be Piecemeal

Some companies advance digitalization with a mindset of "filling in the gaps," which seems to save costs but actually buries hidden dangers. Incompatible interfaces between systems, inability to unify data, fragmented processes... these issues will amplify exponentially in the later stages.

4. Digitalization is a Long-Term Campaign

Digitalization is an evolving process that accompanies the growth of enterprises; it must have long-term planning and phased goals to ensure that every investment becomes a foundation for future competitiveness.

Conclusion

Digitalization is not an optional embellishment; it is a key project that determines the future survival of enterprises. Treating it as a systematic project for planning and execution is the only way to remain undefeated in future competition.
