A roadmap should typically contain or be informed by capabilities needed to get there, the turning point in which businesses need to make a difference.

With the increasing pace of changes, unprecedented complexity and “VUCA” digital new normal, fierce competitions or disruptions are inevitable, and business transformation is unstoppable. The roadmap is the outcome to mind gaps between “TO-BE” and “AS-IS.” How to define your starting point, your end-state, and how to get there is completely dependent on the journey you want to take. 

Technically, you can define any type of roadmap within the context by developing a "To-Be" state first, then defining the strategic roadmap based upon the fallout of what has been discovered from that exercise. Can you break down the roadmap into several stages with crucial points? Does each stage represent the crucial point in which the business gets the benefit of the activities or has taken up the activities so far to form a stepping stone for the next big step?

Story points: In today's hyper-connected and interdependent global economy, we can learn a lot from different mindsets, cultures, and positions. Sometimes organizations go stale and need the so-called "shot in the arm" of someone who can think differently, see things from different angles; read between the lines, and tell fresh stories. In fact, innovative leaders nowadays are expected to constantly propose new ideas and challenge the status quo, tell compelling stories to motivate the team for reaching a well-defined vision successfully.

You need strong visioning and road-mapping exercises to get a clearer picture of what needs to be done. When people leave the inside box of thoughts and standards to seek additional knowledge and experience, they are stepping outside that box into unfamiliar territory, getting to know complementary ideas, and listening to the other side of stories. When story points are allocated, it’s based on its complexity. Storytelling is nothing new, it's the integration of the art with the science. The more complex the story is, the more story points are allocated to touch the mind, motivate the team to reach the strategic goals step-wisely.

Turning point: The journey of business transformation is thorny, won’t be smooth; there are numerous obstacles on the way. Organizations reach the turning point when their top business leaders can think outside the current constraints and comfort zones, they are courageous to break down some rules and take the bold move to lead transformational change and scale up their impacts. Change agents can lift up the team spirit by endless self-exploration and self-transformation in the material, emotional, intellectual dimensions that make a big leap in the journey of digital transformation.

In order to move faster, one may need to slow down for accumulating experiences, test & trial; in order to make a leapfrog change, you need to change underlying values, cultures, or structures; in order to turn around, you have to become more emotional intelligent, resilient to fail fast and fail forward. It is critical to identify and strengthen the weakest link, build differentiated competencies and determine the best and next practices for leading changes courageously.

Touch point:
Forward-looking organizations intend to build people-centric businesses. More companies put focus on the people's experience, as it is the tangible experience people have with a company and how closely it delivers against what the company brand promises. Workforce analysis helps to identify the touch point to engage, develop employees, identify their talent with the right attitude and aptitude, put the right talent to the right position at the right time to solve the right problems. Everyone has a certain talent; the point is how to fit the right talent to the right position, unlock their performance, improve their innovativeness and professional competencies.

High mature organizations are moving from functioning to firm to delight. The experience management can attempt to shape each and every touch point of customer experience, and build a consistent brand. Study a broad range of personalized customer experience solutions in your particular industry, develop empathy by active listening, understand your customers and the context where you're relevant, how to innovate your business models, and take time to reinvent the future smoothly.

Going digital means to explore the new opportunities that fast-growing information and lightweight digital technologies could bring to the business. When you place the "To-Be" state first, it creates a paradigm shift in your approach. A roadmap should typically contain or be informed by capabilities needed to get there. Either individually or collectively, it’s important to keep learning agile, and overcome barriers on the journey of business transformation. Forethoughtful leaders discover capabilities, opportunities, risks, help employees at all levels within an organization take reasonable risks, go beyond their defined roles and demonstrate their creative capacities to move forward smoothly.
