External Digitalization
Digitalization is changing the demands that customers and suppliers, but also the market itself, place on the company. External digitalization is about how the company presents itself to the outside world and how it deals with these new requirements in order to be able to continue to operate successfully in the market.
This is about answering the questions:
- How can I design my product range to inspire the customer? (Raise Net Promoter Score)
- How can I bring my products to market as quickly as possible? (Go-to-Market strategy)

Digital Business Model (Value Proposition)
A business model describes how a company creates value, communicates that value and records it as revenue. Digitalization creates entirely new ways in which a company can create value that can be integrated into existing business models. Value proposition is the core of the business model, as it determines the benefits a company can offer its customers. Existing companies must therefore review their business models (in particular value proposition) and determine whether a new approach created by digitization should be used to increase the benefits for the customer.
