ABOUT INNOVATION READY
Driving Successful Digital and Business Transformation
A proven process for digital transformation and innovation
Steve Ferhad founded Innovation Ready to overcome the single biggest issue he’d experienced in his career – digital transformation projects which failed miserably.
Having worked on successful projects in many industries, both as a consultant and as a CTO, he knew what the main issue was – starting with the technology.

Five areas of focus
Technology isn’t the only factor which makes digital transformation successful. It’s not even the most important. That’s why the Innovation Ready approach starts with these five areas of focus:
Your customer, and their experience when engaging with you

Your processes, both the documented ones and the ones in the wild
Your team alignment, It’s easier to hit goals if you all agree what those goals are!
Your data, which all too often has gaps thanks to your people and processes
Your people, especially the ones who deal with those customers directly
Extensive industry experience
Steve has achieved outstanding results with this approach throughout his career.
As a consultant, he delivered solutions and successful digital transformation for:

A major US based staffing and recruitment firm

The Australian operations of Japanese automotive manufacturer

Several major global charities

An international airport

A major sporting venue

As a CTO, he:

Developed e-learning solutions and virtual classrooms for what was originally a paper-based educational business

Created an award winning department, implemented digital filing and collaboration for a mid-tier legal business, increasing average billable hours per lawyer by 69%

Completed several cloud migrations and process optimisations
