Recently I was asked to complete a review of digital transformation, to gauge where it presently is, to take a look at the leading emerging practices and ‘professional ‘wisdom’ and turn these insights into a report due out before the end of the year. Forming a strategy, roadmap and business case needs real considerations.

Despite all of this, just 20% of digital transformation leaders are studying the mobile customer journey and/or designing for real-time micro-moments in addition to customer journey work. Are you meeting your customer needs, do you fully understand their motivations, associated behaviors to design a better range of innovation solutions?

From start-ups to banks, design has never been more central to business. Yet at conference after conference, I meet designers at firms talking about their struggle for influence. Why is that fabled “seat at the table” so hard to find, and how can designers get a chair? Is design just a service, or can designers* lead?

For some time we have recognized the present innovating was simply not working. Our present poor performance in growth lies often within our existing innovation systems and their design. This is where understanding the power of platforms and ecosystem designs plays a vital role. Now we have to weave them together.
