CDAP - Building The Best Digital Adoption Plan

As we approach our one-year mark as a CDAP Advisor, we reflect on the 30+ plans we've executed and the lessons we’ve learned. A standout realization is that a subpar plan, even if free, can be more detrimental than no plan at all. Imagine dedicating 2-4 months with an advisor, time that might be better spent on activities directly growing your business. 

The second insight we’ve found is the lack of overall clarity on the process, so we wanted to share the framework we use to build a great Digital Adoption Plan to help shed some light on what creating one looks like and what it can do to help grow your business.

Building The Best Digital Adoption Plan

To build the Digital Adoption Plan we need to conduct a current state analysis, a digital adaptation analysis, document future state requirements, and provide recommendations and a roadmap with a budget. To do this we include the following key modules.

• Strategic Foundations: We run a workshop to gather information about your company background, goals, conduct a SWOT and use the “playing-to-win” format - a strategic set of choices that help you decide what markets you will participate in and determine the winning formula that will give your business the competitive advantage.

• Technology Audit: This project uncovers current technology, base functionalities and desired future functionalities. We then map the technology stack and investigate vendors and capabilities. 
  undefined
• Strategic Brief: A document that combines all workshops and audits to produce requirements for CDAP submission.
