Today’s Business Technology Wish List for Digital Transformation

By the end of 2017, two-thirds of the CEOs of Global 2000 companies will have digital transformation at the center of their corporate strategy, according to the IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Digital Transformation 2016 Predictions.

This wish list aligns with five steps Ray Wang, Constellation Research Principal Analyst, Founder, Chairman and author of the new best-selling book Disrupting Digital Business, has identified as keys to advancing in digital transformation:

  1. Design new experiences and outcomes.
  2. Develop a culture of digital DNA.
  3. Apply new business models and technologies to existing infrastructure.
  4. Move from gut to data-driven decisions.
  5. Co-create and co-innovate with new partners.

What technology does Wang believe will have the biggest impact on the most brands and organizations moving forward in digital transformation? Artificial Intelligence.
