ADapT gives you the skills to strategize, design, build and scale digital products and services appropriate for the digital age.
Agile Digital Transformation
Strategize, Design, Build & Scale
Intro
ADapT was developed to catapult Industrial Age Companies into the Digital Age in a straightforward, easy to follow and coherent fashion. ADapT will help you strategize, design, build and scale digital products and services appropriate for the 4th industrial revolution and help your organization to successfully navigate the digital age.
The model consists or three distinct stages.
Extract - Digital Strategist
Extract focuses on understanding the situation of the organisation at that specific time and formulating a digital transformation strategy. By building and maintaining a digital portfolio, strategic initiatives can constantly be evaluated, re-prioritized and managed in a coherent fashion.
Explore - Digital Innovator
Explore is all about innovation. Focusing on customer and organisational needs, Explore helps organisations to design and validate the feasibility of ideas, before they start building or improving products and services. Not only will this help to insure that new or changed products and services will succeed, but it also saves a ton of money by not persuing unviable or marginal ideas.
Expand - Digital Implementer
Expand focuses on operationalizing and eventually commoditizing new and innovative products and services, and how these can be sustained and supported. Expand also aims to create an understanding of how the organisation can further improve. A fundamental precept in Expand is measurement and analysis and we advocate data-driven (objective) desion making. The aim of Expand is not only quality delivery and optimized operations, but using these as a foundation to SCALE at an ever increasing pace!
| Stage | You do | You get |
| Extract | Analyse and strategize | Digital portfolio to help manage producs services, and their financial viability |
| Explore | Innovate and design | New or improved products or services, with validated viability |
| Expand | Build, implement & measure | Satisfied customers, stable operations and ability to scale |

This study also showed that innovation and design-driven organisations:
- Have a 41% higher market share

How should it be used?
All the techniques and methods described in ADapT work on the premise that multi-disciplinary teams will do the work. We also encourage the involvement of people across the organisational hierarchy, e.g. it's amazing what insights a new employee fresh out of university may have.
A key feature of 4th industrial companies are that work is cross-functional.
