Digital & sustainability: The new convergence
Digital & sustainability: The new convergence
Digitalization and sustainability are top priorities for large companies and investors that increasingly are becoming inseparable. Digital technologies are central to company transformation and key for managing sustainability footprints. At the same time, these technologies can themselves be significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Since choices on either side impact the other, sustainability and digitalization decisions should be addressed together.
How data sharing is essential to deliver industry-wide transformation
How data sharing is essential to deliver industry-wide transformation
Industries from energy to healthcare are facing up to transformational change. This is driven by several factors: a need for greater sustainability, reinforced by regulation; changes in consumer needs and behaviors requiring greater flexibility and customer-centricity; and technological development, especially digital and automation. Current geopolitical and economic trends affecting energy prices, supply chains and inflation are acting as a further driver.
Lost in translation
Despite two decades of accumulated experience, the majority of digital transformations still fail to meet expectations. The root causes typically relate to the often-difficult relationship between business and IT functions, resulting in the original strategic aims getting “lost in translation” during execution. In this Viewpoint, we explore how setting up a value office can help overcome common problems by tracking defined value and ensuring realization — leading to successful execution of the strategy.
