From Vision to Execution, Transformation Readiness
Starts with DCG's SPEAR Framework
Before you spend another dollar on more business applications or platform solutions, ask yourself:
- Do we truly understand the health of our current systems?
- Why did our past investments show promise, then fall apart?
- Are we aligned on what success looks like?
In our experience, implementations don’t fail because of technology alone; they also collapse when:
- Organizations aren’t truly ready to implement or automate.
- They rely solely on vendors to discover, collaborate, and implement.
- They’re too quick to blame the product or vendor without examining their internal alignment
