Succeeding through Digital Transformation [Asim Rais on Entrepreneur]

In an ever-evolving technological landscape, to be at the forefront and adapt to rapid changes, there should be a clear-cut understanding of management and operations through different spectrums. Understanding the role of each stakeholder and how dynamics function in different teams, it is important to meet a collective goal and acknowledge individual capabilities alongside as well.

Our Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – Asim Rais Siddiqui recently expressed his opinion on the digital transformation ecosystem for Entrepreneur, a magazine where insights from industry leaders and emerging entrepreneurs are covered.  For Entrepreneur, Mr. Asim covered tips to succeed in the digital transformation industry and advised a strategy for leaders to follow.

In this article, we will cover what Asim offered as tips on digital transformation excellence and building a narrative in the bigger ecosystem.

How You Can Succeed?

Digital transformation covers different strategies and in order to upscale with the right strategy – here is what you should ideally follow.

Foundation based on 3C’s

We do acknowledge that companies differ and depending on the kind of enterprise your business is and where you plan to lean towards, contextually, here are the 3 C’s you should focus on:

• Communication
• Change management
• Continuity

Be expressive and clearly communicate everything out beforehand. And do not be reluctant when it comes to making management changes and enlisting different resources. Continue with your go-to workflow but at the same time – grow out of your comfort zone and embrace the kind of technologies you use. The shift from Coco2d-x to Unreal Engine and Unity was one of the key points Asim Rais mentioned to Entrepreneur. And of course, persisting through it all matters.

Collaboration with the right company

To optimize and maintain a seamless workflow, the company you partner up with in terms of product development and the design process will define everything. Partner up with a company that works in a collaborative way and provides insights that matter for the specific project and the overall business as well.

You need a company that understands software technological developments along with the business strategy needed to upscale. Being market-ready matters!

Understanding data

More than applying data-driven practices, the approach to being data-informed should be prioritized. Relying on data for business insights should not be a replacement for people who bring years of experience, and know how the company has transitioned so far, and the steps needed. Data should be an add-on and the integration should be slow and steady.

Adapting to new practices takes time. Give everyone ample space to be comfortable and assure a workspace where trust and transparency is maintained. Implementing data practices is still dystopian to many, be steady, and let time define everything.

Leadership that shows the way

Our co-founder has clear definitions of what the ideal leadership role looks like and what companies should embrace rather than being reluctant. Again, for a company to maintain a healthy culture where innovation is prioritized and digitization is enabled – the leadership at stake should be willing to go beyond the norms and showcase their vision.

Our Thoughts

On an ending note, we believe that the leadership we have had since the inception of the company and how each TekRevolutionary goes beyond the ordinary when it comes to providing insights and working on products for our clients and partners.
