.01

Scope

Define the scope and objectives: The first step in creating a digital lab is to define the scope and objectives of the lab. This includes identifying the specific digital technologies or capabilities the lab will focus on, the business goals it will support, and the expected outcomes.

.02

Team

Identify the team: Once the scope and objectives are defined, enterprises need to identify the team that will be responsible for running the digital lab. This team should include a mix of technical experts, business analysts, and project managers who can work together to develop and test new digital solutions.

.03

Budget

Determine the budget: Enterprises need to determine the budget required to set up and operate the digital lab. This includes costs associated with hardware, software, infrastructure, and personnel.

.04

Set-up

Set up the lab: Once the budget is defined, enterprises can set up the digital lab by installing the necessary hardware and software, creating the necessary infrastructure, and configuring the lab environment to support the specific digital technologies being tested.

.05

Process

Develop the process: Enterprises need to develop a process for testing and iterating new digital solutions in the lab. This process should include a clear set of guidelines for developing and testing new digital solutions, as well as metrics for evaluating the success of each test.
