Digital Strategy

Digital Strategy

Strategic planning for enterprise digital transformation. Produces structured strategic content covering vision, maturity assessment, gap analysis, target blueprint, implementation roadmap, and governance framework.

Workflow

Follow this sequence. Do not skip steps.

1. Diagnosis        → Understand context, select framework, define scope
2. Current State    → Assess digital maturity, identify pain points
3. Target State     → Design digital vision, capability blueprint
4. Gap & Roadmap    → Analyze gaps, define phases, set milestones
5. Governance       → Design organization, investment, risk control

Step 1: Diagnosis

Determine the engagement context and select the appropriate strategic framework.

Framework Selection Guide

| Scenario | Primary Framework | Secondary Reference | |:---|:---|:---| | Large enterprise, business-led transformation | Huawei 5-See 3-Define (五看三定) | TOGAF | | Mid-size, rapid digital build-out | McKinsey Digital Quotient + 3 Horizon | Lean Digital | | Platform/ecosystem strategy | KPMG-Alibaba CPG Framework | EBC Model | | Public sector/SOE | Government Digital Maturity + Policy Alignment | ISO 22301 | | Industry 4.0 / Manufacturing | Smart Manufacturing Reference Architecture | Industry 4.0 Maturity |

Decision rule: If user does not specify, default to Huawei 5-See 3-Define for enterprises with revenue > 5B RMB, McKinsey Digital Quotient for others.

Scope Definition Checklist

Confirm with user (or infer from input):

• [ ] Industry and sub-sector
• [ ] Revenue scale and employee count
• [ ] Current IT spend as % of revenue
• [ ] Scope: Enterprise-wide or division/business-unit level
• [ ] Time horizon: 3-year / 5-year / 10-year
• [ ] Priority domains (select from: customer experience, operations, products, organization, data, technology)
• [ ] Known constraints (budget, timeline, regulatory, legacy systems)

Step 2: Current State Assessment

Evaluate the client's digital maturity across 6 dimensions.

Assessment Dimensions

| Dimension | Key Questions | Data Sources | |:---|:---|:---| | Strategy | Is there a published digital strategy? Is it linked to business strategy? | Strategy docs, board minutes | | Customer | Digital touchpoint coverage? Customer data platform maturity? | CRM audit, journey maps | | Operations | Process automation rate? IoT/shop floor digitization? | Process mining, site visits | | Organization | Digital talent ratio? Agile adoption? CDO role? | Org chart, HR data | | Data | Data governance maturity? Analytics adoption? Data quality score? | Data audit, system logs | | Technology | Cloud adoption? Legacy system age? API maturity? | Architecture review |

Rating scale: L1-AdHoc → L2-Opportunistic → L3-Repeatable → L4-Managed → L5-Optimized

Output of This Step

• Maturity radar chart data (6 dimensions × 5 levels)
• Top 5 pain points ranked by business impact
• Key findings summary (3-5 bullet points)

Step 3: Target State Design

Define the digital vision and capability blueprint.

Vision Statement Template

By [year], [company name] will be a [data-driven / digitally-native / intelligent] enterprise
where [key capability 1], [key capability 2], and [key capability 3] enable
[sustainable growth / operational excellence / customer intimacy / ecosystem leadership].

Capability Blueprint Structure

Design 4-6 core digital capabilities. For each capability, define:

| Element | Description | |:---|:---| | Capability Name | E.g., "Intelligent Customer Operations" | | Definition | 1-2 sentence description | | Business Scenarios | 3-5 specific use cases | | Enabling Technologies | Key tech stack components | | Data Requirements | Critical data assets and flows | | Success Metrics | 2-3 KPIs with target values | | Investment Estimate | T-shirt sizing: S/M/L/XL |

Common Capability Patterns by Industry

| Industry | Typical Capability Set | |:---|:---| | Manufacturing | Smart Factory, Digital Supply Chain, Connected Products, Digital R&D | | Retail/CPG | Omnichannel Commerce, Precision Marketing, Smart Supply Chain, Consumer Data Platform | | Financial Services | Digital Banking, Intelligent Risk, Open Finance, Embedded Finance | | Energy/Utilities | Smart Grid, Digital Asset Management, Customer Energy Platform, Carbon Intelligence | | Pharma/Healthcare | Digital R&D, Smart Manufacturing, Patient Engagement, Real-World Evidence |

Step 4: Gap Analysis & Roadmap

Gap Analysis Matrix

For each capability, compare current (L?) vs target (L?) maturity:

| Capability | Current | Target | Gap | Priority | |:---|:---|:---|:---|:---| | Example: Smart Factory | L2 | L4 | 2 levels | P1 |

Priority rules:

• P1 (Quick Wins): High impact, low effort, can start in Year 1
• P2 (Foundation): High impact, high effort, required before P3
• P3 (Differentiators): Strategic differentiation, start Year 2-3
• P4 (Future-Proof): Emerging tech, monitor and pilot

Roadmap Structure

Divide into 3 phases (adjust based on time horizon):

Phase 1: Foundation (Year 1)
  → Digital infrastructure, data governance, pilot use cases
  → Quick wins to build momentum

Phase 2: Scale (Year 2-3)
  → Enterprise rollout of validated capabilities
  → Cross-domain integration

Phase 3: Lead (Year 4-5)
  → Ecosystem expansion, AI-native operations
  → Continuous innovation

For each phase, specify:

• Key initiatives (5-8 per phase)
• Deliverables/milestones
• Investment allocation (%)
• Expected business outcomes

Step 5: Governance & Investment

Governance Framework

| Element | Design Points | |:---|:---| | Steering Committee | C-level sponsors, meeting cadence | | Program Management Office | Central vs federated model | | Budget Model | Central funding vs charge-back, innovation fund | | Talent Strategy | Build/buy/partner mix, academy plan | | Risk Management | Top 10 risks with mitigation strategies | | Success Metrics | KPI dashboard, quarterly review cadence |

Investment Estimation Guidelines

• Light digitalization (L1→L2): 0.5-1.5% of revenue
• Medium transformation (L2→L3): 1.5-3.5% of revenue
• Deep transformation (L3→L4): 3.5-6% of revenue
• Split: 40% technology / 30% talent/change / 20% data / 10% ecosystem

Deliverable Format

This skill produces structured strategic content and can hand it to AriaAI generation tools for downloadable deliverables.

• For PPT delivery: call generate_ppt_from_skill with skill_name: "digital-strategy" after the strategic content is complete
• For document delivery: Pass content to docx skill for document formatting
• For roadmap visualization: Generate timeline data in table format, render with xlsx skill for Gantt or phased timeline
• For architecture diagrams: Use generate_image for capability blueprint or target operating model visualization

PPT Tool Call

When the user asks for a PPT, leadership deck, presentation material, downloadable deliverable, or slide version, always create a slide-by-slide outline first and then call generate_ppt_from_skill.

PPT depth standard:

• Build a consulting-grade deck of 25+ slides by default, unless the user explicitly asks for fewer pages.
• Every business slide needs an action-oriented title, a clear recommendation, supporting evidence or assumptions, and implications for management.
• Use at least 4-6 substantive bullets per content slide. Avoid placeholder bullets such as "validate with interviews" unless they are attached to a specific question, data source, or decision.
• Strengthen every page with four layers of substance: (1) the conclusion or management answer, (2) the evidence or quantified assumption, (3) the concrete management action, and (4) the risk, trade-off, or decision required.
• For diagnosis pages, include symptoms, structural root causes, evidence sources, and the management action implied by the diagnosis.
• For blueprint pages, include capability definitions, business scenarios, enabling data/technology, operating responsibilities, and success metrics.
• For roadmap and investment pages, include phase gates, owners, dependencies, investment envelope, benefit assumptions, and KPI tracking rhythm.
• Include quantified assumptions where exact data is missing: revenue impact range, cost takeout range, investment envelope, timeline, adoption target, KPI baseline and target.
• Include the full storyline: executive answer, context, maturity diagnosis, heatmap, pain-point root causes, target ambition, operating model blueprint, capability blueprint, use-case portfolio, prioritization logic, roadmap, investment case, KPI dashboard, risk controls, governance, 90-day action plan, and appendices.
• Make the deck useful for a consulting partner reviewing client-ready material: each slide should be able to stand alone with enough detail for discussion.
• Add chapter divider slides every 4-6 business pages. Recommended dividers: Executive Alignment, Target Blueprint, Roadmap and Investment, Governance and Mobilization.
• Use two_column whenever the page compares current vs target, strengths vs constraints, value vs feasibility, investment vs benefits, or risks vs mitigations.
• Ensure roadmap, capability blueprint, maturity, target operating model, and investment pages contain enough visual keywords and structured bullets for the PPT generator to render richer visual pages.
• Keep the deck language consistent with the user's language. For Chinese requests, write slide titles, bullets, labels, notes, and section names in Chinese; do not mix English labels such as Executive Summary, Current/Target, Foundation/Scale/Lead unless the user explicitly asks for bilingual output.
• Do not pass raw Markdown into the PPT tool. Convert headings, bold text, tables, and long paragraphs into clean slide titles, bullets, two-column text, or structured visual pages.
• Use varied layouts across the deck: title for chapter dividers, content for argument pages, two_column for contrast, roadmap for phases, matrix for prioritization, kpi for scorecards, risk for risk registers, and next_steps for action plans.

PPT design specification:

• Visual tone: consulting partner review deck, white background, restrained blue/teal accents, clear hierarchy, high whitespace, no decorative gradients or random illustration.
• Canvas: 16:9 executive presentation; each business page must have one main argument, one primary visual structure, and no more than 6 dense bullets.
• Page rhythm:
• breathing: cover, chapter divider, single-message page.
• anchor: executive answer, blueprint, operating model, capability map.
• dense: diagnosis, matrix, roadmap, KPI, risk, appendix.
• Every slide object must include layout_key, page_rhythm, visualization_type, insight, and either content or left_content/right_content.
• insight is the page's one-sentence takeaway. It should be written like a slide headline claim, not a topic label.
• data_points should contain quantified assumptions, benchmark ranges, KPI targets, or evidence needed for the visual. If exact data is missing, provide explicit assumptions and label them as assumptions.
• management_implications should state the decision, trade-off, owner, or governance action required from management.
