Roadmap for Data-Driven Business Transformation

Digital transformation and data-driven business

The digital business future provides organizations with nearly unlimited possibilities to create business value. Increasingly, data and analytics has become a primary driver of business strategy, and the potential for data-driven business strategies and information products is greater than ever. This is particularly in response to the continuing situation with COVID-19, which has been an accelerant for digital transformation and data-driven business.

Yet, for many, the ability to “think in data” is still difficult.

This transition to data-driven business requires data and analytics leaders, such as chief data officers (CDOs), CEOs and CIOs to elevate data and analytics strategies, advancing a new vision of business problem solving. It also profoundly impacts the work of a data and analytics organization and the enterprise competencies that must be built. It potentially changes the management ethos of the organization (see Figure 1).

Roadmap for Data-Driven Business Transformation

Data and analytics is central to the intelligent composable business. Data and analytics leaders must therefore select and invest in the most appropriate data and analytics strategies that will accelerate their digital ambitions.
