Almost a year since the pandemic hit us, it would be naïve to still perceive digital transformation and business innovation as ‘nice-to-haves’. The vaccination wave brings new hope for economic recovery, yet many businesses are looking at a tough year ahead.
As digital transformation opens up new paths, simplifying processes and allowing for large data collection, mapping and proper assessment, examples abound that a new, often simple idea can save you money, or make you money even in the most dire, unexpected circumstances. Such is the law and practice of business survival.
The appetite for new ideas and for managing them with the right structures and tools, which had been growing for years, thus exploded in 2020. Budgets have been mostly cut, due to decreased profits, however the global pandemic also reduced operational expenses for 88% of businesses, freeing up resources for innovation and growth. How can they be best applied to move forward?
