of the leaders say their technology function can help the enterprise to confidently explore the potential of emerging technologies
This year, our research utilizes a new definition to identify digitally advanced organizations. Observations from this group can provide best practice lessons for the rest of the market to consider as they continue with their digital transformation journeys.
To be defined as a digital leader, organizations from our respondent base needed to meet two important criteria:
digital leaders say they still need to get better at helping the board understand the potential of new technologies
say they are fully aware of the productivity impact and financial costs of their existing tech debts
believe they must be more proactive about integrating trust, security, privacy and resilience into technology roll-outs
think collaboration with the wider business would be stronger if their tech function was more diverse
say customer expectations of stronger data privacy and cyber security are a key influence on their strategic priorities
ASPAC business leaders 3x more likely to see themselves as digital leaders vs. EMA and the Americas.
The lesson from these leaders is clear – to keep transformation on track businesses should do it intentionally, and collaborate with the broader organization for greater impact
