Identify the capability investments needed to adapt and take action
Ìý
With recent events amplifying the rate of transformation, the digital divide between organizations has never been clearer.

Those better prepared to adapt to the new normal are responding to disruption by pivoting to new business models, and new ways of working. Those without the digital capabilities needed to navigate the crisis, are fighting to survive.

Now is the time to reflect on what you are doing as a company, to reprioritize, adapt, and to create resilience in response to the next normal. Discover how the Digital Fluency Model can help you to make your next move.

Identify the right level of digital investment for your organization
Ìý
In any transformation, context is key. To truly succeed, you must first understand your own unique needs and aspirations, and invest accordingly. We’ve designed the Digital Fluency Model to help you to identify the degree of capability your organization needs to execute your goals and the investments required to achieve those capabilities, reducing the risk of over or under-investment.
An initiative built for community
We’ve always been vehement supporters of open source and free knowledge,Ìýbelieving that the greatest ideas are driven by communication and collaboration. Making our latest thinking freely available to all allows us to pay it forward, explore new ways of working, and learn from the feedback of the wider community.
A lot has changed in the last decade and as it draws to a close, many business leaders will no doubt be hoping to pause and catch their breath. But the fact is, in the 2020s the pace of technology-driven change is only set to accelerate. 2020 should begin then, with the resolution to develop a modern digital business.
The pressure is on to transform your organization into one that is capable of responding to the increasing pace of change in today’s world. Gary O’Brien, Digital Fluency Principal at ºÚÁÏÃÅ, talks about the challenges of digital transformation, and what it takes to become a modern digital business.
