The document discusses how continuous digital transformation can improve the member experience of an organization. It outlines some key challenges with the current member experience and notes that the experience is not viewed holistically across departments. The solution proposed is to take a continuous improvement approach to the member experience through ongoing digital transformation rather than one-time large software implementations. The key aspects of making this change include regularly funding experience improvements, assigning an overall product owner, gathering regular member feedback, and establishing processes for continuous development and delivery of improvements.

Common symptoms of the challenge
Everything has to be done in Excel because the software won’t let you do it
Separate and non-integrated systems lead to differences in data that takes ages to correct or just deal with
Organisational structures create a task driven view of the member
There are good reasons why you structure membership organisations like this, however it creates a siloes and corresponding views of the member. (over simplification)
Events only see people in terms of attendance
Finance just look at the context of renewal
Membership sign-up and or accreditation
Publications are content focused
Education look at course accreditation in isolation and CPD often as member task
This setup leads to a process and system that deals only with these views of the member, as you team what they want and answer you get are framed in this context.

The experience the member is now fluid and quick in terms of engagement and varies hugely across organisation type, it was lift time in your career but now it can be as quick as 10 years as people switch jobs

The challenge is that once you are viewing the world as a silo it is very hard to see it any other way so you ask for things to make the silo better, rather than improve the over all experience of your members. For example an events system or email marketing or on-line payment
This leads to the purchase of one off systems / projects within each silo that you expect to sweat for years to come, some might call them best in beard or off the shelf. This embeds the challenges you see in the organization as you are forced to live with the solution you have until the Capex burns down.
When you make an install things get worse for a while as you get used to the new software and have to transition the data from one system to another, you then have a boost of team productivity for a short while, then dependant on the length of project (how old your requirements are when you go live) you start to see a drop off as the organisation changes and software's limitations start to effect productivity, before long you are back using spread sheets and the member experience is dropping again.
The solution is to continuously work on improving your member experience, this needs to be supported by the approach and process within your organisation. This is under pinned by Developer Operations.
The same dip happens when you take a continues improvement / developer operation approach but this time as you continue to make improvement you continue improve the experience
A framework will provide you with all the features you would expect in an off the shelf package. While still allowing you to build them together like Lego to create the experience your member want. This approach gives you the best of both worlds and sets up to continually improve your experience
It is the change in approach that continually looking at your self and asking how can make it better that leads to the continues improvement. The organisation must be setup with this at it’s heart in your achieve this it.
Agreeing a common vision for your core products and services allows everyone to focus on weather or not additional changes will support that vision
The key areas that product owner should be examine in details are present in the above wheel. Each section is not owned by the Product Owner but they should be briefed in details by the owner of this area so that manage their requires along side the rest of the organisation in line with the strategy and experience
The product owner must be given the time and authority to mange the day to day evolution of the products / services that you provide. Don’t be afraid of mistakes even with your members, as people understand from the feedback loops everyone is in it together and are happy to engage through tools like user voice and road map planning they are helping to steer the direction of the organisation.
Each of the stakeholder groups including your members / community feedback in to the product owner on a regular basis. Once a month is recommend. The reports and format of the meeting should be per agreed so that it is productive and is about the information not new features.
Once a ¼ the roadmap meeting should take place. The goals are driven from the strategy and the metrics designed to measure the achievement of those goals. The features are not thought up by internal team as they are not process or software design experts but iteratively crafted in by the product owner and developer operations team to deliver the goals and tested by the agreed metrics.
