/0 Comments/in /by

This research was conducted at PT XYZ, an Indonesian digital telecommunications leader, to address declining profits and increasing competition which threaten its mission to provide reliable and innovative business services. The study aimed to develop a strategic measurement model to enhance business transformation performance. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, collecting qualitative data through in-depth interviews with 7 key individuals and focus group discussions with 6 participants, along with quantitative data from surveys involving 100 internal employees and 100 external stakeholders. This comprehensive approach helped identify several key factors affecting transformation success. Key findings included the necessity of a progressdriven approach with regular strategic alignment checkpoints, a significant gap in organizational capabilities due to insufficient training, lack of stakeholder engagement resulting in minimal buy-in, and the absence of clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) complicating progress tracking and decision-making. To overcome these challenges, the study proposes optimizing resource allocation via a robust management system, investing in ongoing training programs to enhance organizational capabilities, improving stakeholder engagement through continuous communication, and establishing definitive performance metrics and regular evaluation mechanisms. Implementing these strategies could significantly boost PT XYZ’s financial profits, customer satisfaction, and competitive standing in the telecommunications sector.
