The "digital transformation" is one of the key challenges facing companies of all sizes and from all industries - often starting with a business value assessment. In our experience, however, transformation is not a matter of a large overall project in the sense that it can rarely be realised on the basis of a single implementation strategy. On the contrary, during implementation it becomes apparent again and again that a subdivision into a multitude of different data-driven Use cases makes sense. It is important that the individual use cases are embedded in an overall context - a Digitalisation strategy.

When developing a successful digitisation strategy, the central question is which of the possible use cases offers the greatest added value at the beginning. Because especially at the beginning, it is important not only to gain experience with lighthouse projects (Proof of concept), but rather to prove that digitisation also pays off in the end (Proof of Value).

Definition: What is Business Value Assessment?

A Business Value Assessment offers you:

1. an assessment tailored to your company of the relevant use-Cases and
2. a Overview of the spectrum of possible uses-Cases for your company.

A business value assessment thus has a strategically important role at the beginning of the Data Journey. In our experience, there are many more possible use cases than our clients may realise at the beginning. An important step in the context of the business value assessment is therefore the grouping of the use cases in Value Pools. This grouping offers you a concrete decision-making aid because it answers the important question "Where ́s the beef?

Prioritisation of the Value Pool

Evaluation of the use cases

Derive recommendations for action

Grouping of use cases into value pools

The benefit of Value pools This is to be briefly illustrated by a concrete example: the Targeting Optimisation. This is an approach to marketing in which customers are specifically identified both online and offline, analysed and thus addressed in an optimised manner. There is a whole range of use cases with which this is possible, such as AdWords Optimisation, Automated Online Campaigning or Customer Segmentation. Each of these UseCases now gets a different valuation to what extent it reduces costs or generates profit. Taken together, this results in the value pool.
