The Garden Analogy Model - A Simple Plant Perspective

Digital strategy is a complex topic, but it becomes simpler when we think of it as a garden. Our garden analogy compares a plant's growth to the digital evolution process - it is all about change. Plants grow and change through the seasons, as does a digital strategy. Like a growing plant, it progresses in stages. Broadly, those are - the strategy (seeds), operations (stem), and technology (flower). Together, they help us to turn projects from ideas to tangible outcomes.

Strategy is Like the Seeds.

New ideas start with strategy, just like a plant grows from seeds. When planted, seeds take root. They hold the 'plan' for the whole plant, much like a strategy that sets goals and direction for digital blueprints.

Operations are Like the Stem.

Think of the operation like the stem of a plant. The stem feeds and supports the flower and leaves, just like operations turn strategy into action.

Technology is Like the Flower.

Technology is the outcome of our efforts. By nurturing our strategy, we see how it evolves from seeds to the beautiful bloom we all enjoy.

What About Data?

In our garden model, consider data as pollen. It spreads across different areas, just like mixing ideas. This flow of ideas keeps businesses dynamic and adaptable, similar to how pollen contributes to a garden's health and diversity.
