Technology Investment Objectives

Understanding your objective, in the beginning, will enable you to remain focused. For example – improving customer or employee experience, eliminating manual processes or optimizing operations can be objectives for technology advancement.

There is a wide range of metrics for digital transformation. Gartner recommends selecting 5-9 key performance indicators to track, report, and act on – that provide insights into the impact of your technological advancement.

Best KPI or metrics are those which impact your business directly. Rather than following the herd, define your metrics that are easily understandable to non-technical team members. For instance, if your objective for Asset (Equipment) Management is to improve useful life, actionable metrics can be schedule compliance, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

Digital Transformation Success

As per Mckinsey’s research, Organizations with successful transformations have leaders who are digital-savvy. Developing talent and skills throughout the organization for digital transformation is one of the most important factors for success in a digital change effort.

The environment that motivates your team to get the most from technology investments is to be cultivated for technology advancement.

FM KPIs by Factech provide guidance for change and your organization should respond and act for improvement. Rather than discarding the change after the first instance, we need to hustle and find out the reasons and try a different way of improvement. For example, if you have an AI-powered chatbot to elevate the customer experience, but your metrics reveal that customers are more annoyed and complaining about this. The next step is not to abandon the effort, but instead, investigate what’s behind the failure- something that needs to be changed. Then you can reboot the changes in place to solve the problem.

Culture is the key to digital transformation success.
