Powering better technology outcomes, innovation and performance

Technology, digital and data

Technology continues to revolutionise organisational performance. Experts predict that more that 80% of customer interactions will soon be digital. With customers' expectations around streamlined and secure technology increasing rapidly, organisations need to continually evolve and transform their digital offerings.

However, digital transformation can be both costly and risky. On average, 45% of IT projects run over budget, with 56% delivering less value than predicted. And with developments such as voice-led technology, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence (AI) being built into day-to-day processes, when embracing new opportunities to unlock value, organisations now must deal with increasingly disquieting risks.

Digital transformation needs an informed, proactive approach

Effective planning, risk identification, supplier management, governance and contract management are crucial in ensuring that organisations' digital transformation projects are sustainable and impactful. Each step of a digital transformation – whether via acquisition, development, using a new supplier or through organic business growth – needs to be considered through a lens of both business value and risk mitigation. Safe, ethical data management, including introducing appropriate and robust data management and cyber security measures, is key.
