DIGITAL Analysis in Digital Transformation

Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to develop an approach to selecting a process in the organization’s activities or a section of a separate process, the digital transformation of which will produce the greatest effect.Tasks. The authors determine a general approach to choosing where to apply digital technologies in an organization or in the transformed process to the greatest effect; develop criteria for choosing where to apply a transformational solution during digital transformation; create a conceptual framework for process analysis during digital transformation; ensure the reproducibility and efficiency of digital transformation regardless of the level of competence of the responsible manager.Methods. The methodological basis of this article includes studies on digital transformation, theoretical and practical materials regarding the application of transformational solutions during its implementation, and practical cases of digital transformation. The applied methods make it possible to identify patterns and form a conceptual understanding of the approach to analyzing the efficient use of digital technologies. When searching for a conceptual solution to the problem of finding a place to apply digital technologies, the authors use their developments in the field of digital transformation.Results. The DIGITAL analysis method developed by the authors contains a conceptual understanding of criteria for choosing where to apply a transformational solution during digital transformation within the specific transformed process, making it possible to digitally transform any process or organization as a whole until they reach the level of digital maturity corresponding to an autonomous technical system. The developed method of DIGITAL analysis increases the efficiency of digital transformation and does not require significant experience in its implementation. The novelty of DIGITAL analysis is that it makes it possible to turn digital transformation into a formalized process instead of the usual application of well-known digital transformation cases.Conclusions. The DIGITAL analysis method not only increases the efficiency of digital transformation, but also provides an opportunity to effectively choose where to apply a transformational solution. The developed method of DIGITAL analysis can be used independently or as a component of a comprehensive methodology for conducting digital transformation. The use of DIGITAL analysis is not tied to a particular industry or process under consideration.
