Imagine walking into your office, where a hum of brain cells are working together to respond to opportunities, risk, and market demand with flexibility and speed. People in many roles and areas of expertise are not afraid to bring up new ideas for consideration; they collaborate freely and discuss ideas with no threat of conflict. You immediately sense an energy of high engagement and motivation as you walk through the reception door.

Such a workplace culture is a dream that could power newsworthy growth, and it is one of many reasons many executives choose to invest in digital technology. However, according to Dr. Jenny Brockis, an authority in the science of high performance and author of Future Brain: The 12 Keys to Create Your High-Performance Brain, technology adoption is only one piece of a much larger digital transformation puzzle.

During the Americas’ SAP User Group (ASUG) Webcast “Brain Fitness: The 12 Keys to Create Your High-Performance Brain,” Brockis explained, “If we better understand why we think and act the way we do, not only can we help ourselves perform better, but it also allows us to appreciate what might be going on for someone else.”

It is useful to think about investments in digital as essentially investments in change. It includes changes in how an organization interacts with its customers, citizens, or patients; in operational processes; in business models; in supply chain relationships; and in how employees use information to generate insight.

One tool that I have used to great effect to improve the likelihood of a successful result from digital investments is the benefits dependency network (BDN). This tool seeks to get managers to identify and map all the changes that they will be required to make if expected benefits and outcomes are going to be delivered. It also illustrates very clearly how this change will be enabled and shaped by digital technologies. The resultant network shows how each of the expected benefits will be delivered through a combination of technology and business changes and how these are related to each other.
