Analytics for Steering Committees - Managing Digital Transformation beyond Powerpoint

Lean Leader Summit 2025

While advanced analytics are increasingly used in many fields of management to support not only tactical, but also strategic decision making, steering committee work in transformation programmes is still mainly informed by classical reporting. The absence of transformation analytics is even more surprising as large amounts of quality data are avalable in project management tools - a kind of "digital twin" of the transformation. We present findings from analyzing problematic transformation programmes, insights how transformation steering analytics are used by pionieering companies, a typology of use cases we derived from those early cases, and discuss promising avenues to improve steering digital transformation.
