Why should you choose Digital Transformation Management?
What is Digital Transformation?
The Digital Transformation process is a key element for the public and corporate context.
Indeed, international surveys suggest that up to 98% of companies believe that digital transformation and innovation are fundamental components of their business plan and up to 90% of companies are currently investing in it.
However, only 53% of businesses are ready to design and manage this transformation. Specifically, one of the main limitations is the lack of professionals having both IT and business expertise. This new type of position plays a crucial role in the digital transformation process that is already happening and that is going to become more and more important and strategic in the next future.
A Digital Transformation manager aims to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of companies exploiting the possibilities offered by the new technologies based on companies' business plans.
