What is digital
transformation?

Digitalisation is changing the world, one country, industry and company at a time. But some sectors and countries are changing faster than others and the increased use of innovative new technologies presents new challenges to overcome.

Business transformation, disruption, digitalisation, digital transformation - they are all part of the same challenge presenting itself to individuals running companies of all sizes and industries across the world. Business leaders need to be considering what is digital transformation, the disruptive technology that leads it, how it affects their organisations and what risks and opportunities need to be planned for.

Those that take the initiative to overcome the hurdles of disruption to reach digital transformation will be prepared to face the future and capitalise on all it has to offer. Those that do not think ahead risk falling behind their competitors and new entrants in their markets.

What is the impact of digital disruption?

While digital disruption is inevitable, not all businesses will be affected in the same way. The market and sector will influence the level of impact, but it is clear that the tides of disruption are coming for businesses one way or another.

In our latest report 'Digital Currents in a Changing World' we have pulled together a comprehensive, compelling look at the forces driving digitalisation. In doing so, we have been able to look at how and when disruptive forces will begin to impact businesses globally.

By analysing data from the World Economic Forum and Economist Intelligence Unit, we have plotted 120 countries on a wave of 'readiness' for digital disruption and digitalisation, identifying which economies are ahead or behind when it comes to change driven by technology.
