Assessment Preparation
Review the Wk 3 Comparison: Digital Transformation Methodologies. (attached below)
Read the following scenario to use for this assessment: You have been hired as a consultant to a health care company that wants to enhance their delivery of value to patients, while maintaining a secure health records environment. You have recommended that digital transformation methodologies will help the company address these concerns and enhance its ability to deliver value to its customers.
Assessment Deliverable

Address the following in your presentation with justifications from research-based best practices:
-
Recommend a business model approach for digital transformation that will support a higher security records environment for delivering personalized care. Justify why the methodology is appropriate.
-
Recommend a digital transformation approach for experimental learning and design thinking that will support personalized care in a higher security records environment. Justify why the methodology is appropriate.
-
Identify recommended milestones in the company’s digital transformation.
-
Recommend a change management model the company should use to support adoption of personalized patient care offerings in a higher security records environment.

Business Models
Digital transformation does not apply a single approach to all issues. A company should tailor the approach to the nature of the problem. Some issues require haste and regulation. Others require user knowledge, experimentation, and consistent behaviour modification. Consideration of the comparison below indicates why a particular model would be more suitable in a specific environment than another.
Business Models Chart
|
Criteria |
Methodology 1: Linear and Sequential Creation of Value |
Methodology 2: Circular and Continuous Creation of Value |
|
Pros |
Clear flow from supplier to customer. Easier cost control. Works well with stable demand and fixed operations. |
Reduces waste and keeps value in use longer. Supports reuse, repair, and recovery. Can improve efficiency and long-term resilience. |
|
Cons |
Creates waste and depends on one-way resource use. Less flexible when markets change fast. Often misses value after first sale. |
Harder to build and manage. Needs partner coordination and redesign. Up-front change costs can be high. |
|
Company Use |
A company would use this model when it sells standard products in a stable market and needs simple planning, clear ownership, and straight supply chain control. |
A company would use this model when it wants longer product life, lower material loss, service-based revenue, and stronger sustainability goals.
|
According to Smol et al. (2024), circular models abandon the previous logic of extract, process, use, and throw away and emphasize the retention of products and materials in a useful state.

|
Criteria |
Methodology 1: Experimental Learning |
Methodology 2: Design Thinking/User Experience |
|
Pros |
Encourages learning by doing. Helps teams test ideas early. Builds problem-solving skill through direct experience. |
Starts with user needs. Improves usability and fit. Supports rapid ideas, prototypes, and feedback. |
|
Cons |
Can be slow if reflection is weak. Results may vary by team skill. May miss broader customer needs without user research. |
Can take more time at the start. Needs strong user input. Teams may over-focus on experience and miss system limits. |
|
Company Use |
A company would use this method when staff need to test new tools, learn from pilots, and improve through small trials before large rollout. |
A company would use this method when the main problem is poor customer experience, low adoption, or a product that does not meet user needs. |
According to Dorland (2024), design thinking can expand experiential learning by incorporating enhanced creativity, teamwork, and user-oriented problem-solving.
Change Management Models
Review the “Fundamentals of Managing Change” section from Ch. 3 of your course textbook to assist in completing this chart.
Change Management Models Chart
|
Criteria |
Methodology 1: Kotter’s Eight-Step Model |
Methodology 2: Prosci® ADKAR® Model |
|
Pros |
Gives leaders a clear path for large change. Builds urgency and shared vision. Useful for culture-wide transformation. |
Focuses on individual change. Easy to track barriers. Practical for training, adoption, and reinforcement. |
|
Cons |
Can feel top-down. May move too broadly for local resistance. Less detailed on personal adoption steps. |
Strong on individuals but less broad by itself for full enterprise change. Needs steady coaching and follow-up. |
|
Company Use |
A company would use this model when major change needs leadership action, strong alignment, and culture shift across the whole organization. |
A company would use this model when success depends on employee adoption, behavior change, training, and sustained use of new systems or processes. |
