What is the goal?
Do you understand the need for a digital strategy? Do you have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish? Have you spoken with employees and customers to understand their needs as you make this investment?
What should be done?
What early experiments and iterations can you make to test your assumptions? How can you leverage your existing technology investments to get started? What are the risks and how can you mitigate them?
