Secure the long-term success of your digital transformation project
You’ve introduced systems, changed processes and trained your teams. But now the real work begins. Your new digital mindset needs to be embraced, nurtured and continuously developed.
What you’ll learn in this chapter:
Why continuous monitoring is essential
How retrospectives help you improve
What it takes to embed a digital mindset for good
1. Monitor usage and progress
After rollout, it’s essential to keep track of how your team is using the new tools and processes. Observe closely:
Adoption levels: How widely and actively are the new systems being used?
Pain points: Where are users running into problems or falling back on old methods?
Early wins: Which teams or processes are already seeing improvements?
Develop a simple monitoring plan. A tool such as an issue tracking template helps you log problems, set priorities and implement fixes quickly.
After four to six weeks, run your first analysis:
Have you hit your short-term goals?
Are you making measurable progress toward your long-term digital objectives?
Are there patterns of success — or are some areas still lagging behind?
Tip: Share results early. Transparency motivates teams and visible progress boosts morale.
2. Review and reflect
An honest look back is the key to long-term improvement. Plan a structured review a few months after go-live to evaluate the process thoroughly. Ask yourself:
What went well and should be built on?
Where were there difficulties and how can we avoid them next time?
What unexpected benefits were there?
Make sure to include a range of perspectives: team leads, team members from different departments and your key users. Use their insights to refine your workflows, training formats and internal guidelines. Even small tweaks can have a big impact over time. By fostering a culture that’s open to feedback and learning, you ensure that your teams see digital transformation not as a rigid project, but as a living process.
