Abstract

               Organizations can consider a digital transformation plan as a long-term strategic plan focusing on utilizing digital technology to create new value for organizations, customers, products, services, systems, and operational processes and increasing the organization’s competitiveness to a higher level. To plan for the digital transformation of an organization, they should take four key steps: start with a comprehensive current state assessment, clearly define a future vision for their digital business, identify gaps between the current state and future vision, and roadmap tracks toward the future. The key factor in transforming into a digital organization is to create a long-term plan for the organization in order to respond to the organization’s challenges. Challenges from environmental changes, new business models developing in the future, digital organization structure design, digital workforce skills, digital process and operation, and digital technology development. Therefore, planning to transform into a digital organization must be designed to respond to the challenges that arise in all six dimensions, namely the rapid changes in the environment, new business models in the future, digital organization design, digital workforce skills, digital processes, and digital technology.
