In today’s business world (increasingly tech-driven), digital innovation stands proudly at the forefront. Combining cutting-edge technologies, inventive software architecture, and fresh approaches is changing and reshaping the traditional IT landscape.
Within this context, digital transformation is a concept that also comes into play, and while they are intrinsically related, there may be some confusion between the two terms.
Let us guide you through the definitions of digital innovation and digital transformation, and how businesses combine both to get the optimal value out of them.
What is digital innovation?
Digital innovation uses new and cutting-edge technologies to optimize processes, provide better services, or even create a new business model.
It involves leveraging innovative approaches to solve challenges, improve efficiency, and create better user experiences, influencing a company's competitiveness.
Digital innovation is made possible by implementing new initiatives such as advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, chatbots, big data analytics, and wearable devices. You can see it being put to practice in situations like AI-powered solutions in healthcare for better diagnosing patients and app-developing solutions for improved customer experience.
What is the difference between the two?
The scope of their involvement can differentiate digital innovation and digital transformation.
While digital innovation tackles specific projects and solutions, digital transformation is a broader, more strategic process involving different aspects of a company’s functionality. It often consists of a roadmap with goals and touchpoints to be reached by the company over time.
So, where to start?
Your digital transformation journey starts with an assessment of the business’s digital maturity, which is essential to understanding where your company’s processes stand, drawing a map for future efforts, and setting out the goals to be reached, how to achieve them, and how to measure and analyze your success.
