1. Aligning with Business Goals  

The foundation of any successful online service lies in its alignment with the overall business objectives. By understanding the vision and mission, we can ensure that the new online service contributes positively to your growth and supports your long-term goals. 

2. Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses

A thorough assessment of your organization’s current digital ecosystem can help you identify what works well and what doesn’t. We can design a more robust and effective online service by building on existing strengths and addressing weaknesses. 

3. Enhancing User Experience

A deep understanding of the existing digital ecosystem enables us to tailor the new service to the target audience, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable user experience. Catering to users’ needs and preferences is vital for your customer satisfaction and long-term success. 

4. Integrating with Existing Systems  

Many businesses have existing systems and processes in place. Knowing the current ecosystem allows us to design the new service to integrate smoothly, minimizing disruptions and maximizing efficiency.

Understanding the existing digital assets helps avoid reinventing the wheel, saving time, effort, and resources. By leveraging existing solutions, we can focus on creating unique and innovative features that differentiate the new service from your competitors. 

6. Identifying Opportunities and Threats

We can identify potential opportunities and threats in the market by evaluating the current state. With this information, we can design a more effective and competitive online service that addresses these challenges and capitalizes on new opportunities. 

7. Budget and Resource Allocation  

Understanding the current state helps us make informed budgeting decisions. This ensures a more efficient and cost-effective project, maximizing return on investment. 

8. Measuring the Right Things 

Understanding your current state and ecosystem allows us to set realistic benchmarks and key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the new service. This enables continuous improvement and helps us create actual measurable value.

When familiar with your business and digital ecosystem, we can ensure the new service adheres to relevant industry regulations, standards, and legal requirements. 

10. Means to define the current situation

There are several different tools to determine the current state. A simple interview is sufficient in some situations, but in others, a more structured canvas or framework is appropriate. We always try to choose the tools on a case-by-case basis. Below are a few examples of the tools we use.
