Building a Future-Ready Digital Strategy:
The Salvation Army Aged Care Transformation with Blue Bike
The Salvation Army Aged Care (TSAAC) operates within a complex and evolving environment shaped by government reforms, changing funding models, and new compliance obligations.
To maintain and enhance service delivery amidst these challenges, TSAAC recognised the need for a robust Digital Strategy. They partnered with Blue Bike Solutions (Blue Bike) to facilitate the development of this strategy, ensuring it aligned with both TSAAC’s immediate needs and broader organisational goals.
The Challenge
TSAAC faced increasing pressure from sector reforms, funding changes, and evolving compliance reporting requirements. These challenges demanded a more agile, efficient, and future-focused approach to technology and data management.
TSAAC lacked a unified Digital Strategy to guide them through these complexities and ensure that their operations could meet the needs of a growing and diverse client base. The need for a comprehensive, strategic approach to digital transformation became critical to their ability to deliver high-quality care and achieve long-term sustainability.
The Solution
Blue Bike employed a structured, collaborative approach to develop TSAAC’s new Digital Strategy, focusing on aligning technology with organisational goals and operational needs. The process was divided into major phases to ensure a comprehensive and actionable outcome:
Engage & Discover
Reflecting the Current Digital Landscape
Shaping the Target Digital Strategy
Based on insights gathered during the discovery phase, Blue Bike designed a pragmatic yet ambitious Digital Strategy. This strategy focused on achieving TSAAC’s strategic goals while adapting to the time-sensitive nature of TSAAC’s EOFY budgeting activities. Blue Bike balanced the immediate need for progress with longer-term objectives.
Roadmap Development
A comprehensive roadmap was created to guide the implementation of the Digital Strategy. The roadmap consisted of three phases and 54 initiatives, with a clear prioritisation of actions to ensure a smooth and structured transformation. Blue Bike worked closely with TSAAC leadership and subject matter experts to refine the roadmap, identifying key dependencies and prioritising initiatives to optimise the strategy’s success.
Blue Bike Outcomes
The new Digital Strategy for TSAAC was developed with a clear alignment to the overarching strategic themes of The Salvation Army (TSA). This ensured that TSAAC’s digital initiatives would directly support TSA’s broader organisational goals, particularly the IT strategy, while fostering consistency across the organisation. The roadmap, with its 54 prioritised initiatives, provided a clear and structured approach for digital transformation.
Most importantly, the new strategy equipped TSAAC to operate more effectively in a challenging and evolving environment. The roadmap’s phased approach and prioritisation ensured TSAAC could meet the complex needs of its unique client cohort while ensuring sustainable growth and service delivery. The Digital Strategy positions TSAAC to stay ahead of sector changes, better meet client needs, and navigate future challenges with confidence.
Conclusion
Blue Bike’s collaborative and strategic approach enabled TSAAC to build a future-ready digital framework, ensuring alignment with TSA’s organisational goals and providing a clear roadmap for digital transformation. For organisations facing similar challenges, Blue Bike’s expertise in shaping actionable, pragmatic strategies ensures a path to success in navigating complex operational environments.
