Content slide – The digital workplace framework
Notes:
The image is a model used by Deloitte to represent the digital workplace framework.
The framework helps a workplace prepare for the implementation of effective digital processes and solutions
There is no one standard framework workplaces used to support digital processes, strategy and solutions
To keep up with the digital world, organisations should develop their own strategy that supports a digital workplace
The model has 4 layers: Business drivers (outer layer), Governance, Technology, and collaboration (inner layer):
Collaboration: employees being able to communicate with each other and build business relationships with both inner and outer networks and to facilitate transfer of knowledge
Technology: the digital tools, systems and applications used to support the business
Governance: the controls and guidelines established as protocols, structure and practices. This is the element of compliance and workplace standards.
Business drivers: these are the things that are measured, the goals and objectives the workplace aims to achieve. These are the benefits of digital processes.
