The Challenge

The client, a B2B manufacturing company, sought to transform its traditional business model into a digital-first operation. With the IT team involved in different digitization initiatives already underway, the company needed a cohesive digital agenda to fully align its efforts with core operations and maximize the potential across its value chain.

The objective was to create a comprehensive roadmap that would guide the company’s transition while exploring new business opportunities arising from this digital transformation.

Role of Consultport

To support this transformation, the client turned to Consultport to deliver a team of experts who could help shape the company’s digital agenda. Consultport proposed five highly experienced consultants within 48 hours.

The client ultimately chose one technology consultant and one innovation consultant with more than 10 years of experience in blue chip companies and extensive experience in delivering successful digital transformation projects. Their mission was to assess the company’s current digital capabilities, identify areas for improvement, and create a clear and actionable digital agenda to drive the business forward.

The Approach

The project began with an in-depth analysis of the company’s digital infrastructure and processes. The consultants worked closely with the leadership team to define a transformation objective that aligned with the company’s growth aspirations. This involved identifying gaps in the company’s current digital operations and building a digital agenda coherent with the company’s core activities.

Next, the consultants focused on exploring new business models that would emerge from the transformation. They evaluated how digital tools and technologies could streamline production, enhance customer engagement, and create new revenue streams. Through a series of workshops, the team ensured that key stakeholders were fully aligned with the company’s digital agenda and understood the strategic importance of the planned initiatives.

The Results

The consulting team successfully delivered a coherent digital strategy, proposing incremental innovations, digital tools, and restructuring current processes aligned throughout the value chain.

Comprehensive Digital Agenda Roadmap

The consultants developed a clear, actionable digital agenda roadmap, outlining the specific steps the company would take to transform into a digital-first business. This roadmap enabled the company to begin implementing initiatives immediately.

Alignment of Digital Initiatives

By defining and prioritizing the digital initiatives, the consultants ensured that the company’s efforts were fully aligned along the value chain, helping to increase operational efficiency and focus.

Exploration of New Digital Business Models

The consultants identified new digital-first business models for the company, providing a roadmap for leveraging data analytics, automation, and AI implementation to optimize core operations, including finance, sales, and procurement.

Stakeholder Alignment on the Digital Agenda

Through workshops, the consultants ensured that all stakeholders, from leadership to operational teams, were fully aligned with the company’s digital agenda, facilitating a smoother transformation process.

We had many ideas and ongoing initiatives that merged into a clear transformation agenda, with all stakeholders aligned.
