Digital Business and Transformation
Summary 2022/2023
Before you get started with this summary, here are some notes:
● Articles aren’t included!!! I might publish a summary of these later. However, I have
noticed that the mock exam from the RUG is easily achievable with only my summary.
● When words or sentences are underlined like this it is because it is a tricky sentence that
might need some extra attention.
● The mock exam made by me is purely based on what has been written in this document,
so it doesn’t test on the articles.
● Also, it is not allowed to share this summary without my permission <3.
Content of the summary:
● Chapters 1 to 7 from The Digital transformation Playbook by David L. Rogers.
● A mock exam from the RUG with answers below.
● My own made up mock exam with answers below.

Chapter 1
There are 5 domains of digital transformation:
● Customers
● Competition
● Data
● Innovation
● Value
Customers
Customer communications and reviews make them a bigger influencer than advertisements or
celebrities, and such customers' dynamic participation has become a critical driver of business
success. Customers today are constantly connecting with and influencing each other and
shaping business reputations and brands.
Competition
More and more, we are competing not just with rival companies from within our industry, but
also with companies from outside our industry that are stealing customers away with their new
digital offerings. Also, competitive assets may no longer rise in our own organization; rather,
they may be in a network of partners that we bring together in looser business relationships.
Most importantly, digital technologies are supercharging the power of platform business models,
which allow one business to create and capture enormous value by facilitating the interactions
between other businesses or customers.
Data
Today data is being generated at an unprecedented rate by everyone. Also, cloud-based
systems for storing data are increasingly cheap. The biggest challenge today is turning the
enormous amount of data we have into valuable information. Every business now has access to
a river of unstructured data that is generated without planning and that can increasingly be
utilized with new analytical tools. This unlocks new sources of value. Data is a vital part of how
every business operates, differentiates itself in the market and generates value.
Innovation
Digital technologies enable continuous testing and experiencementation, processes that were
inconceivable in the past. Constant learning is becoming the norm.
,Value
What customers value can change very quickly. Constantly pushing the envelope to find our
next source of customer value is now an imperative. Rather than waiting to adapt when change
becomes a matter of life or death, businesses need to focus on seizing emerging opportunities.
