Awareness Tools

FinConecta has identified 5 domains that must be addressed for a successful digital transformation which include: Business Model, Approach to Innovation, Technology Model, Client Engagement, and Culture & Organization. Even though they are presented separately, they are all intertwined in such a way that a successful Digital Transformation cannot be achieved if one or more domains are not effectively and holistically developed.

These domains are the foundation of our Awareness Tools (Digital Transformation Readiness Assessment and Simulation Game), providing a framework that portraits digital transformation beyond just technology.

Business Model: Value Proposition, Target Market, Market Analytics, Additional Revenue Streams, Approach to Costs, Use of Data, Partnerships

Approach to Innovation: Purpose, Leadership, Methodology, Time frame

Technology Model: Architecture, Infrastructure, Organization, Methodology

Customer Engagement: Purpose, Customer 360, Process and Methodology, Communication Channels

Culture & Organization: Culture, Leadership, Talent, Organizational Design

FinConecta offers two Awareness Tools:
