TRANSFORM
TRANSFORM - Digital Transformation and Innovation
Every organisation, regardless of its industry and offering is now an information company. From relationships with external partners and customers to internal operations, digital technologies and platforms are impacting and transforming every job function within every firm and industry.
Digital experimentation is easy, but true transformation is hard – it is technology and people, innovation, and disruption in equal measures. Part of the challenge lies in the fact that the 10 to 15 major enabling technologies are very different from one another—Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality – each has different applications and impact across different sectors of the economy.
Transform helps organisations guide their teams toward creative, viable solutions to technological and workforce change and foster a culture of innovation in their digital transformation framework.
