Before embarking on the digital transformation journey, it is crucial to define clear objectives and identify KPIs aligned with business goals and vision. Companies with well-defined objectives are 1.6 times more likely to achieve successful results.
“...when companies achieve transformation success, they are more likely to have certain leaders with digital expertise. Less than a third of all respondents say their organizations have hired a chief digital officer (CDO) to support their transformations. But those who do are 1.6 times more likely than others to report a successful digital transformation.”
