Frameworks

All our programs, services, and online tools are founded on the two frameworks Digital Maturity and Organizational Capabilities for Digital Transformation, both developed by our Founder and CEO Pernille Kræmmergaard.

At DI2X we base all our services on two research-based frameworks “Digital Maturity” and “Organizational Capabilities”.

In short the framework “Digital Maturity” illustrates 5 different generations of digital maturity and associated different digital mindsets and leadership practices.

The framework “Organizational Capabilities" presents the 10 organizational capabilities and 3 leadership competencies essential to master to reach the highest levels of digital maturity and transform the organization.

Each of the frameworks is published in independent books by Pernille Kræmmergaard in a variety of languages.

"Digital Transformation - 10 capabilities your organization must master and 3 that you will need“ was first published in 2018 in the first edition, and in the second edition in 2020.

“Digital Maturity – strategy, technology, organization and leadership in 5 generations” was first published in 2021.

“Mind the Gap. Digital Maturing - Your Leadership Responsibility” is published in 2024. The book addresses the gaps related to digital maturation, introduces the new generation 6, and highlights in which generation the capabilities are particularly relevant.

Both books are available in Danish, Norwegian, and English in our Resource Center.

Pernille Kræmmergaard two books which the Framework is based upon

Pernille Kræmmergaard uses her more than 25 years of academic research, as well as leading international research and practical experience from hundreds of courses and workshops with private companies and public organizations in these books, which are intended as a user manual for managers at all levels.

The books contains lots of examples, and each chapter oﬀers actionable advice on areas of which leaders must be aware; which questions to ask themselves; and how to engage with colleagues, including IT when working to increase digital maturity and digitally transform their organizations.

Technology is not the central focus
“This is a very readable and accessible book on what can be complex and confusing topic, full of misunderstandings and hype.
Pernille Kræmmergaard manages to get to the essence of digital transformation by emphasizing that technology should not be the central focus, but a prerequisite for a more comprehensive transformation which first and foremost will make demands on your ways of thinking and leading. This book provides the lens with which to do this.”

With down-to-earth examples
“Pernille Kræmmergaard has put together a unique book for leading digital transformation in both private companies and public. […]
She has drawn on her many years of rich experience in executive teaching, consulting, and university research to produce a book that is triply thoughtful and forward looking, well-articulated with down-to-earth examples, and usefully applicable for practice. […] The book worries about both customers and citizens and brings a Danish humanistic perspective that is critical for the global post-Covid 2020s new normal.”

A well-spent investment to read
“This book is rather unusual. It is very concrete about something rather abstract: “Digital transformation”.
It focuses on a very complex phenomena – strategic transformation of large organizations - and makes it very simple and easy to understand. It is based on a sound theoretical foundation and at the same time very practical. In other words – this is an unusually well composed book.
I can recommend it to all leaders, consultants and researchers working with how to handle digital transformation. It is a well spent investment to read and reflect upon.”
