How to get your digital strategy on track in just four weeks: A Look Inside the Navigator Framework
Have you ever had the feeling that your digital teams are constantly busy yet stuck in place? Often, this happens because business goals have been communicated but haven't made their way into daily operations. The company vision might be clear, but the path toward it remains vague. Projects drag on because nobody truly understands how strategic priorities translate into everyday decisions. The result: too many projects started, escalating costs, and limited measurable impact. Companies frequently try to address this through strategy workshops. However, without solid data, clear guidelines, and broad involvement, these sessions often conclude with good intentions but minimal results.
Effective strategy development is more than an offsite meeting—it requires a structured process that connects concrete success factors with operational details. This creates a shared direction, guiding daily activities throughout the organization. That's precisely what the four-week digital digital rapids Navigator is designed to achieve. Instead of endless discussions, we offer structured workshops, data-driven analysis, and a roadmap that truly moves you forward. In just four weeks, your vague vision transforms into a tangible action plan. Best of all, the Navigator specifically addresses medium-sized businesses ready to break free from endless analyses and workshops and start making meaningful progress
How does it work?
The digital rapids Navigator is a four-week strategy process designed to help medium-sized businesses develop and implement a clear digital strategy. Our framework combines structured workshops, data-driven analysis, and pragmatic decision-making to ensure efficient and sustainable transformation.
Each week has a specific focus, building step-by-step toward a solid foundation for lasting digital success.
- Week 1 – Analysis
Everything starts with interviews, document reviews, and data analysis. This phase creates a clear understanding of your current status and identifies key action areas. This preparation ensures future decisions are fact-based and transparent.
- Week 2 – Strategy Development
Using workshops based on the "Playing to Win" approach, we define key strategic questions together: Where does your company compete? How will you succeed there? This creates a tangible strategy tailored to your core competencies, identifying suitable technological solutions.
- Week 3 – Target Operating Model and Culture
Now we transition to practical implementation: clarifying roles and responsibilities and designing a target organization capable of responding quickly and flexibly to change. We emphasize fostering a digital culture that promotes innovation and continuous learning. - Week 4 – Implementation Planning
Finally, we perform a gap analysis to identify remaining differences between your current and desired states. From this, we create a prioritized roadmap, providing clarity on the journey ahead and how to reach your goals.
By the end of these four weeks, you won't just have a clear strategy—you'll have a concrete roadmap for your digital transformation, complete with defined roles, responsibilities, and timelines.
