Business Transformation Canvas
Canvas with ten elements (Operating Model, Culture, Leadership) for planning digital transformation.
PURPOSE
The Business Transformation Canvas helps organizations plan digital transformations holistically rather than reducing them to the technological dimension alone. It ensures that all relevant elements like operating model, culture, leadership, and technology are considered simultaneously. The tool prevents fragmented transformation approaches that neglect individual dimensions.
HOW TO USE
The canvas is filled out by the transformation team together with executive leadership. All ten elements are systematically worked through, defining the current state, target state, and necessary change measures for each element. Dependencies between elements are identified and considered in implementation planning. The canvas serves as a steering instrument throughout the entire transformation.
WHAT IT IS
The Business Transformation Canvas is a comprehensive planning tool with ten elements for designing digital transformations. The elements include operating model, organizational culture, leadership, technology, processes, and customer orientation among others. The canvas provides a holistic view of the transformation and makes the interactions between different dimensions visible.
EXAMPLE
Example: Your board has decided on a comprehensive digital transformation and as program director you need to create the overall plan. With the Business Transformation Canvas, you capture all ten dimensions: from operating model through culture and leadership to technology and change management.
