Digital Transformation

Digital Transformation is transforming businesses throughout the world. There are four key drivers behind these efforts, improving customer engagement, Digital Transformation products and exploring new business models, improving decision making and driving operational efficiencies. The value creation opportunities in each of these areas are enormous, however companies undertaking these efforts quickly learn that the technology in digital transformation is often the easiest part of change. Successful digital transformation efforts always start with a clear understanding of strategy, current and future state operating models and risk appetite. Organisations need to decide whether or not they are going to be the disruptor and try to take a lead as a transformer, or whether they are going to play a waiting game, monitor the competitive landscape and react as necessary to defend market share. Leaders then must consider how people will be impacted, including how easily the culture of the organisation and behaviour of individual employees can adopt new approaches and how customer interactions will change for the better.

Protiviti helps companies make the promise of digital transformation a reality. We work collaboratively with you to create a deep understanding of the risks and opportunities presented by new emerging technologies and think creatively about how you can use these technologies to improve business performance. Drawing on experts in data and analytics, technology, internal audit, business process, risk and compliance, we tailor teams of professionals to fit the specific requirements of your transformation program. These professionals work side-by-side with you at any or all stages of a transformation program, delivering confidence that the people, processes and technologies involved converge to create value in the future.

Digital transformations generally seek to accomplish one or more key objectives. Exploring and creating new ways to build strong relations with customers. The digitisation of products or services which involves launching new, enhancing existing or exploring new business models for products or services. Enhancing business analytics and decision science to improve decision making or creatively using technology to improve operational performance.

Digital Tranformation from the Board's Perspective

Is Your Strategy Focused on Digital?

The digital revolution currently taking place is transforming our world. Over the next few years, many organizations will need to undertake radical change programs and, in some cases, completely reinvent themselves to remain relevant and competitive. Is disruptive innovation sufficiently emphasized on the board agenda?

Sustaining an Innovation Culture in the Digital Age

Innovation is the life blood of every organization. An innovative culture is what sustains re-invention and even the organization itself. In the digital age, the board has an important role to play in strengthening and nurturing this culture.

Oversight of Organizational Speed in the Digital Age

The results of a recent survey noted that the top two global risks are concerns over disruptive change to the business model and the organization's resistance to change.
