Digital Ways of Working
Technology advances and data proliferation are having a profound effect on the way organizations work and make decisions — including choices around resource management, product development and pricing. But unlocking the opportunities they offer means developing the processes to identify, analyze and visualize available data. Combined with flexible and agile management approaches, along with automated businesses processes, the result can fundamentally reshape the way that organizations work and make decisions.

Successes
- L.E.K. Consulting’s client, a leading automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM), was seeking to transform the performance of one of its core development areas by implementing agile ways of working in order to drive better electronics development. We helped to define the organizational target structure to enable agile ways of working, which improved the client’s competitive reaction speed, customer centricity and planning reliability and reduced development costs, among other benefits.

Using advanced analytical tools and skills, we helped the organization gain unprecedented insight into pockets of untapped profitability. We also ensured that the capabilities developed as part of the business transformation — including synthesizing internal and market data, and sharing analysis throughout the enterprise — would continue to foster new approaches to understanding and managing the business.

- A major mining services company approached us to help them better understand the potential for an innovative, real-time data capture and dissemination technology that it hoped to implement for its operational activities. We launched an in-depth customer interview initiative to gauge customer attitudes toward the new technology compared with traditional approaches to data capture and dissemination. We concluded that the reduction in data errors, speed of assessment and data dissemination, and improved costs were resulting in a preference for the technology. We were also able to assess how well the company was integrating the technology into operating activities and recommend ways to improve uptake.
