Digital transformation director

Transforming an organisation takes more than tools: new processes, new skills and change management that is owned. The digital transformation director carries that programme and answers for it before the chief executive.

Transforming without stopping the business

Diagnosis opens the programme: where time is lost, which processes create re-entry, which decisions lack data. The roadmap then orders the workstreams by expected benefit and the organisation's real capacity to absorb change. Execution is run workstream by workstream, with teams who keep the business running. Benefit measurement closes the loop and legitimises the rest of the programme.

Run a process diagnosis and quantify achievable gains
Build a roadmap ordered by benefit and absorption capacity
Redesign a process and tool it with the teams involved
Measure the benefits obtained and arbitrate the rest of the programme

Organisations under transformation

Financial institutions

Digitising the customer journey, paperless files, processing automation: multi-year programmes.

The public sector

Online counters, registries, interoperability between administrations: transformations with a strong effect for citizens.

Industrial and commercial groups

Traceability, data-driven steering, field tools: transformation there often starts from operations.

What you work on, in order

Leading a company transformation

Every row in this table comes from the official catalogue: title, duration, credits, taught hours and yearly or one-off fees. Nothing is rounded and nothing is hand-entered. This is the table you take to an employer to request funding, or to an adviser to weigh your options.

Answers to the most frequent questions

How does this differ from a digital project manager?

A project manager runs one operation; a transformation director carries a programme, arbitrates between workstreams and commits the organisation before the chief executive. Level 7 recognises that overall responsibility.

Do I need an IT background?

Many come from operations, finance or sales, and that business origin is a real asset: it gives the legitimacy to redesign a process in front of those who run it every day.
