Business Challenge

It is of critical importance to set clear priorities when digitizing your business

If enterprises wants to digitize their business or create completely new digital business areas, setting clear priorities is a key requirement to avoid wrong investments. However, it is often not clear how the business can be linked to the right digital initiatives. Beyond that, it is in most cases not even clear whether digital innovation or digital transformation – or both – is required.

Another challenge is that businesses typically do not have the right structure to enable and govern digital projects!
