Digital transformation is hard.

Even though one of the most popular answers in recent months to the question “Who led the digital transformation of your company ?” is “COVID-19”, the fact is it only moves the needle a little bit for most companies. Reasons being that they are still struggling with traditional KPIs, poor data, legacy processes, hiring freezes, budget cut, multi-level governance models etc. etc.

However, the hardest part is still the fact that most teams think or decide beforehand that transformation can’t be done.

No, with right people and right mindset, it can be done.

Give #digitaltransformation a chance.

MVP – Minimum Viable Product, a buzzword used by many product teams and startups around the world. Some deliver their MVPs like the donut on the left, some deliver the right one. Some roll out free products, some insist the customers have to pay for the new product. Some are happy to release a MVP that comes with 5 features, and yet criticise another competing product has _only_ 10 features etc. etc.

My view is we all have different interpretations of the keyword – “Viable”. Therefore, some of you think your customers can live with a V1.0 free product with only 5 features, some have to make it sellable with a good price and feature set – Minimum Sellable Product (MSP). Yet, some teams just want to develop something people love to use – Minimum Lovable Product (MLP).

So … before defining the scope of your MVP, first thing first … define your version of the keyword – VIABLE.

People resist being changed, especially a change without good reason, without clear goal, and without desirable reward.

Many times, changes are too focused in cutting cost, adopting latest technology and making processes lean. However, the keys to any transformation success are always about getting team members and customers inspired, engaged as well as recognized.
