It is nearly impossible to implement a digital transformation strategy without impacting the most critical factors in a company’s success, whether these impacts are intentional or not. Therefore, understanding the effects of the change on your company and planning accordingly is essential for a successful digital transformation.

This is where Leavitt’s Diamond framework proves valuable. In 1965, Harold Leavitt introduced an integrated approach to change, known as Leavitt’s Diamond. We use an updated version of this framework to develop a cohesive digital transformation strategy and analyze its impact on your company.

The framework’s current form outlines four interconnected components: Information, People, Process, and Technology. To use it effectively, we first define the role of each component within your company to understand their existing relationships.

Once we have this foundation, we analyse how your digital transformation will affect each component of the diamond. For example, your management of information requirements may need adjustments, but such changes will likely affect other elements of the diamond as well. Success depends on maintaining a balanced approach.

Moreover, to enable your team to manage information requirements throughout the project lifecycle for digital project delivery, we may need to adjust your information standards, procedures, and guidelines to achieve that intent effectively.
