More connected
At the heart of digital transformation is connectivity. In today’s world, constant connectivity is more common than not, everything needs to be accessible from the click of a button, anywhere, at any time. Technology is of course the power house behind this but it is the forward-thinking, innovative businesses, creating new means for people to connect, which stand to reap the rewards. The businesses who are able to use digital disruption to their advantage and facilitate this connectivity will no doubt thrive in the future.More collaboration
More cost-effective
It has been argued that digital transformation is costly and complex, requiring new working models, strategies and people. While we can’t deny the fact that digitally enhancing your business will cost money, what we do know is the companies that are getting it right are seeing benefits. And there’s data to back this up: a 2014 McKinsey survey of 850 business leaders found that more than one-third expect at least 15 percent of their companies’ growth in the next three years will be driven by digital initiatives. To put it quite bluntly, technological disruption isn’t even a new trend anymore, it’s a way of life. As such businesses need to embrace it, rather than shy away from its impacts. The sooner this is done, the sooner they’ll reap the benefits of being a more connected, collaborative and cost-effective organisation.
