Our FOCUS
HOBA TECH is here to challenge the status quo and address the three problems in business transformation no one wants to talk about:
- The Business Transformation industry is broken, 70% of transformations end in failure;
- Organisations don't have a problem with coming up with ideas to transform their business, they have problem with implementing them (but the marketplace is forcing them to focus on it. They're focusing on the wrong thing including marketing and beautiful pictures), and
- Businesses are afraid of Consultants. They know they need to transform, but they don't want to start because they know it's a road to nowhere. It's a money sucking process. Subconsciously they are scared of Business Transformation, and are scared of Consultants.
HOBA TECH wants to change that stereotype. We are not just educating the next generation of Business Transformators, we are educating the industry. Our goal is for Business Transformators around the world, delivering business transformations and better results and restore the respect and reputation to the profession and guaranteed clients for life.
companies we've worked with

Increase your chances
Have you even seen a Business Transformation run on time, on budget and deliver the changes it promised? No, neither have we, that’s why they call us (and probably why you’re here?)! Successful business transformation is not something that just happens. It’s planned. Working with us, this is the type of results you can expect:
"Digital Transformation is Business Transformation"
Our PRocess
The academics and overnight experts tell you in order to successfully deliver Business Transformation you must follow their complicated process, yet they struggle to describe it or explain how and why you do it. Forget what youโve been told, it’s not complicated, it’s a simple 6-Step process. Here it is:

Focus
First things first. Nothing happens until yourself and Organisation agree on the one thing. We help you and your team to get Focus.

Control
Design without control is madness, so you need control. We show you how to set yourself up for success to control decisions, scope and risks.ย ย

Analyse
You can’t build anything if you can’t agree of the state of the Organisation today. Here we show you how to define the baseline.

Evaluate
With a lot of stakeholders and competing needs and changes, you need to evaluate. We show you howย to prioritise so everyone’s happy.ย

Design
We show you how to design a future model that addresses the pain points and opportunitiesย in your current operating model for now and the future.

Implement
We show you how to create the plans and roadmaps to deliver the design, and implement the physical (business and technology) changes.
"Organisations dont have a problem with ideas to transform, they have a problem with implementing them"

Frequently Asked Questions?
Below is the common questions we get about HOBAยฎ and business transformation:
The true number of business transformation project failure is underreported. Depending on which research you follow, the figure is between 70% – 80% of business transformation projects end in failure.
There is five (5) main causes in business transformation failure are โ lack of stakeholder involvement, lack of senior stakeholder support, changing requirement, incomplete requirements and poor planning.
Nothing. They are good at the purpose they were designed for, except they are now used for a different purpose, and that is not the original purpose they were designed for.
Look at TOGAFยฎ (The Open Group Architecture Framework) for example โ it’s a framework for managing โtechnologyโ or โtechnology changesโ. It is not surprising, it was written by a โtechnology standards companyโ. They know and understand technology.
What is happening is, TOGAFยฎ is being used in business transformation projects that the โframeworkโ to manage the โtransformationโ, but it only focuses one thing โ technology. It doesn’t focus on anything else other than Technology (it almost completely ignores, the other two (2) important aspects of the organisation โ People, and Process(es)).
It also ignores how to transition the business from the current state, to its desired future state. It effectively put the Technology stakeholders in the drivers set, to dictate to the Business what they think they want and literally throw it over the fence to the Business for them to work out if first it is fit for purpose, and then how to use and implement it.
HOBAยฎ solves the 70% failure rate in business transformation problem by addressing the causes that problem in the first place โ by putting the Business back into control, to take control back from Technology and into their own hands, using a structured process and framework that was developed WITH the Business, BY the Business, to be USED and OWNED by the Business, putting the control back into their own hands.
The biggest problem with business transformation projects is firstly the name. โBusiness Transformationโ is incorrectly called or referred to as โDigital Transformationโ. โDigital Transformationโ is a misnomer, it is not โdigitalโ per se that is โtransformingโ, it is the โBusinessโ that is transforming, and how it does or is doing that in this period of time is via โdigital technologiesโ (if โtechnologyโ isnโt already digital, what were they before?).
What this intentional confusion in the marketplace is causing, is it causes is an incorrect bias and focus on the โtechnology aspectโ only of the transformation, which by doing so completely ignores the Business aspects โ that’s the Business Operations Stakeholders and their concerns, and the Processes those stakeholders carry out.
HOBAยฎ helps by putting the Business back in to control, to be very clear and structured with what is the Vision, Strategy, Objectives and Measures, what stakeholders are involved and need to be involved in the transformation and their decision making authority, the process to manage those decisions, scope and risks; what are the problems they want to address or opportunities they want to take advantage of; what benefits they want to realise from the transformation and when; what the future or Target Operating Model (TOM) needs to look like to achieve their Vision and Strategic Objectives and business benefits, and how and when will the changes be implemented. Everything and nothing more, only doing what needs to be done, to transform the business, not doing what is happening in the marketplace today and that is โcreating reams and reams of colourful models and diagrams, that while beautiful, are in reality just โinteresting but (sadly) uselessโ.
The Design Process is the 6-Step process used to implement HOBAยฎ and manage the transformation from the very start, to the very end, implementation.
The biggest misconception in the marketplace today with business transformation is that Clients are led to believe that they need โreams and reamsโ of pretty colourful presentations to transform your business. This is a fallacy.
This only creates expensive shelf-ware. What those โpretty presentationsโ are designed for is to enable the transformation project to keep moving toward its end goal, transforming the Business. What the Clients are led to believe is those โpretty presentations are the actual goal of the project, and often celebrated and hang up on the project office wall with great bravado as if they were the goal of the transformation itself!
What those โpretty presentationsโ actually need to be is two (2) things โ
- first, is they need to be understandable, and written in a language that the Business understands, so first they can understand what it and they mean, and then they can agree to it.
- Then second, then they need to be useful. A lot of Consultants and Consultancyโs wanting to impress their clients with great marketing, pretty presentations and long list of impressive acronyms and latest โitโ words, but this just confuses the Client.
What happens is the Consultants will present their โideasโ (because that’s what they are, they have had one meeting with the Client, interpreted that into their own words and perspectives, and come back to them several weeks and months later, having not consulted with them through the process, thinking โthey know their Clients business best (they don’t, the Client does!) and play back their 300+ page power-point presentation that looks impressive), they present it to the Client, the Client has no idea what it means or says (its written in a foreign language, literally), due to the time itโs taken, and the money it has cost at that point, the Client agrees to it in the room, then walks out the room, and completely ignores everything the Consultant(s) said. The transformation goes nowhere. HOBAยฎ solves that problem, refer to the first question above.
