The human brain is phenomenal. It can achieve the same outcome in countless ways—long, short, automated, semi-automated, and every possible combination in between.
Yet, the term Digital Transformation is often overused. For instance, changing a handwritten customer form into a web page or implementing a full-fledged ERP system—both are commonly labelled as digital transformation. But in reality, true transformation is about choosing the right mix of approaches to fit your business.
Below, we share four approaches to digital transformation. While the videos linked are independent, each illustrates a principle that can guide your change process.
1.Redefining the Way You Work – Intent and Focus (No Tools Needed)
Sometimes, transformation begins with thought, not technology. The right intent and focus can change the rules of the game.
Watch this inspiring example: Fosbury Flop
2.Applying Thought to Existing Tools – Make the Most of What You Have
The best solutions often come from leveraging tools you already own. It’s about smart application rather than adding complexity.
Example: Pomegranate Grading Jugad – a simple yet ingenious way to sort fruits by size.
3.Developing Small, Custom Tools – Quick and Practical Solutions
Some challenges require small tools that are easy to build or readily available. These tools fill the gaps efficiently without overcomplicating your process.

4.Leveraging Latest Technologies – AI, ML, and Beyond
Big transformations sometimes demand advanced technologies. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and other cutting-edge tools can dramatically improve efficiency and decision-making.
Example: Tomato Sorting Machine – Sentinel II by TOMRA
