After several years of interviews with digital transformation leaders, Altimer released a report that defined six stages of digital transformation. Together, the six stages provide a guide for purposeful, results-driven transformation initiatives. Here are the six stages of digital transformation Business as usual, status quo — The current state of your organization Present and active — A time of experimentation throughout the organization when you encourage creativity and improved digital literacy skills Formalized — When experimentation becomes more intentional, initiatives become clearer, and you start looking for leadership buy-in Strategic — The point when groups start collaborating and sharing their research in order to create strategic plans for the transformation Converged — The formulation of a dedicated digital transformation team that will guide the strategy, establish goals, and put systems in place to support the transformation Innovative and adaptive — When digital transformation becomes a part of the business and leadership establishes a system for monitoring technology and market trends so that the company can continue to evolve
