Digital Transformation
Competing in the digital age of the customer means transitioning to a digital business. But digital transformation is not just about leveraging emerging technology. Digital transformation means applying the right technologies to create or update internal processes or customer experiences that rise to the changing business demands and new customer requirements. It is also the journey of moving to a digital-first business model with the speed and nimbleness to change rapidly, exploit technology to create lean operations and differentiation, and free up internal resources across the enterprise to do more complex tasks. Digital leaders today are shifting to new organizational structures and customer-led operating models that take advantage of emerging technology and partner innovation networks. Prepare your organization for digital transformation with Forrester’s insights.
