Abstract
Aim. The presented study aims to develop a concept of digital transformation through the example of an industrial enterprise to enable comprehensive and efficient digital transformation of separate processes, their stages, and even entire organizations in the industrial sphere.
Tasks. The authors determine a series of preparatory and transformational steps that can be executed with little dependence on the competencies of the head of digital transformation and would facilitate digital transformation in the organization; develop a methodology in the form of an integrated methodological framework that makes it possible to formalize the owner of the organization as the principal and the head of digital transformation as the agent in the process of its implementation.
Methods. The methodological basis of the study includes research in the field of digital transformation and the authors’ analysis of digital transformation cases.
Results. The concept of digital transformation developed in the study contains the necessary methodological tools for the formation of a digital transformation program and its implementation at an industrial enterprise. The created methodological basis of digital transformation makes it possible to consistently plan and carry it out, regardless of the level of digital maturity of the transformed process and organization or the level of competence of the head of digital transformation.
Conclusions. The concept of digital transformation developed by the authors makes it possible to transfer digital transformation events or a large-scale program from the category of managerial search for solutions with a high level of uncertainty to the category of a methodologically sound reproducible and feasible set of actions with a high level of effectiveness. In other words, the proposed concept of digital transformation makes it not an “art” with unpredictable results depending on the competencies of the organizer, but rather a reproducible activity with predictable achievements.
