Project MUSE Transformation: Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa

The shape of the balloon does not change as it fills with air, but the size of the balloon changes. For a final example, imagine again the polygon with vertices , , . Applying this dilation and writing out the points of the vertices of the image gives , , .

Winning retailers focus on these essential customer expectations and ways to transform how they are offered, in combination with some more ‘futuristic’ looking innovations as we see them pop up in concept stores but of which several will prove not to be valuable enough. Just as the customer experience is a catalyst in many digital transformation projects, it also has become pivotal in marketing, service and customer-facing processes. Although it might sound like a contradictio in terminis, the end goal of digital transformation changes, making it a journey.

Taking into account the just mentioned caveat about technology and IT, of course there is a clear link with digital technologies. So let’s take a look at the evolution towards this so-called digital transformation economy. With strong roots in the accelerating adoption of 3rd Platform technology and the transformative effects of this adoption by organizations, workers, consumers or let’s say people, the role of digital transformation is evolving. It’s important to remind that in a digital transformation context, all these aspects, functions, processes, etc. are interconnected and silos have less place, not from a technological perspective but most of all also not from a process and people perspective. Finally, the reason why we would prefer to speak about accelerated business transformation or, if needed, digital business transformation, is that it’s just a matter of time before no one makes a distinction between digital and physical or offline and online. Customers, for instance, don’t think in these terms at all, nor in the terms of channels.

It goes hand in hand with process optimization, often automation and cost efficiencies. However, the people dimension is probably – and obviously – the most crucial of all in the customer and customer experience context. The customer experience is probably also one of the key areas where business meets IT in a transformational perspective.

Within the rigid and non-rigid categories, there are four main types of transformations that we'll learn today. Three of them fall in the rigid transformation category, and one is a non-rigid transformation. Rotation - Imagine marking a point on a beach ball and spinning the ball.

Technology is meant to make human life better, to make it easier to do what we do, and bring our products and services to more people. That means that, at its heart, we have to focus on the human element of digital transformation. Software and tools that don't positively impact people are useless in the workforce. Because we are social creatures, the surest route to human transformation is through connecting with others. People around us inspire us by showing us what we can become. In fact, it’s one of four key components of developing self-efficacy .

People involve, respect and empower other people in the first place, technology is an additional enabler and part of the equation of choice and fundamental needs. Digital transformation – developing core capabilities across various business areasDigital transformation covers a huge number of processes, interactions, transactions, technological evolutions, changes, internal and external factors, industries, stakeholders and so forth. So, when reading advice on digital transformation or reading reports and predictions it’s essential to keep this in mind.

Create a new transformation from scratch using the Transformation Editor or Transformation Builder and save with your chosen name. For more details and examples, see the Create Transformation method in the Admin API Reference. In general, it's best practice to chain each transformation action in your URL as a separate component in the chain.

With the advent of the Internet of Things, the need to ensure data quality and the increasing need to use and unlock it faster, despite the sheer volume, adds several elements to the information and transformation equation. To achieve them, however, many conditions need to be fulfilled in an often staged approach and always involving people, processes and technologies. This stage of innovation and further challenges brought by disruptive business models will accelerate in the next years. Digital transformation is led from the top (or at least requires firm buy-in from the top – and all stakeholders if it wants to succeed in an enterprise-wide way, de facto it also happens from the bottom up and from within specific projects). Often it’s the CEO, the Chief Digital Officer or the CIO but, depending on whom you ask the CMO also gets mentioned now and then. For now, we’re going fully hybrid in all senses, also in the integration of digital technologies within our human selves, what the 4th platform will be.

In some cases, an action parameter requires one or more qualifiers to fully define the Transformation behavior. If you want to apply multiple actions in a single transformation URL, apply them in separate chained components, where each action is performed on the result of the previous one. You can also create your transformation URLs using the Transformation Editor or new Transformation Builder .
