X : Do you have a map for digital transformation?
Me : Like cloud + agile + spotify?
X : Yes
Me : No. Any transformation is going to be specific to the context (i.e. your business / industry) ... there is no generic map. There are universal principles i.e. the doctrine

X : How about a map of the doctrine?
Me : Yes, that's how the phases are built. Some principles come before others. But these are models of thought, the principles need to be applied to your context.

X : How so?
Me : Focus on user needs means "are you thinking about user needs"? Your user needs (and their wants) maybe different from mine. The key is to think about them.

You really need to understand the context first (i.e. the users, user needs, the chain of components, how evolved it is) and then you need to communicate and challenge this. Once you've developed situational awareness then you can start thinking about transformation.
Me : Mapping will assist you in the process of applying thought but it's not a replacement for it.
X : But I need a stepwise process on what to do.
Me : Hmmm, like a strategy for transformation?
X : Yes.
Me : Here you go ...

X : Yes.
Me : Here you go ...
X : That's obviously sarcastic and not very helpful.
Me : I'm trying to tell you that there is no process, there are some universally useful principles and there is your landscape but you're going to have to apply thought. You can't avoid it.

X : What about at an industry level.
Me : Do you work in an industry with competitors?
X : Yes
Me : Are all the competitors the same in everything they do?
X : No
Mer : There is no generic map. There are just universally useful patterns and common components.
