The best traders know that business is buying low & selling high. We look at how some companies forget what business they're in.
Despite organisations spending $2.3 trillion annually on digital transformation, up to 84% of initiatives fail. In this post we dive into how businesses are measuring the wrong metrics instead of focusing on business outcomes.
A look at the global AI skills shortage which has reached crisis levels, with 94% of business leaders reporting critical talent gaps and organisations losing an average of $2.8 million annually to delayed AI initiatives.
For organisations that are early on in their automation journey choosing the right technology stack can be more straight forward
The most common reason is that transformation programmes focus on technology deployment rather than business outcome design. Platforms get implemented. Processes don't change. Teams don't adopt. And the technology sits underutilised while the budget is already spent.
Successful transformation starts with the business problem, not the technology solution. We help organisations redesign that approach before committing further investment.
Prioritisation is where most digital transformation programmes fail before they begin. Organisations either pursue everything at once and achieve nothing, or pick the most visible initiative rather than the most valuable one.
The right starting point is always the initiative that delivers the fastest path to measurable business value while building the foundation for everything that follows. That requires a structured prioritisation framework, not gut instinct.
This is the reason we've built our Service Prioritisation Matrix. If you'd like a copy get in touch today.
This is the question most organisations aren't asking early enough. Digital transformation and AI strategy are not sequential - transform first, then add AI. They need to be designed in parallel from the beginning.
Every digital investment you make today either builds toward or undermines your AI capability tomorrow. The data you collect, the platforms you choose, the processes you redesign - all of it either enables or constrains what AI can do for you in 12-24 months.
Most first AI projects fail not because the technology doesn't work, but because the data foundation wasn't ready, the use case wasn't specific enough, or governance wasn't in place before deployment began.
This is one of the most consequential decisions a scaling organisation makes - and most get it wrong by defaulting to one answer without properly evaluating the other.
Build gives you control and competitive differentiation but requires time, talent, and ongoing investment. Buy gives you speed but creates vendor dependency. The right answer depends on whether the capability is core to your competitive advantage or simply enabling it.
Most organisations evaluate AI investments the wrong way - focusing on the technology rather than the business problem it solves. The right framework asks three questions: What specific outcome are we trying to achieve? Does AI give us a materially better path than alternatives? And do we have the data foundation to make it work?
We've built a decision framework specifically for this question, get in touch if you'd like to hear more.
Resistance to digital transformation is almost never about the technology. It's about fear of redundancy, loss of expertise, and change imposed without context. Teams that understand why transformation is happening and see their role in the future state adopt far faster than those who don't.
The organisations that get this right invest as much in change communication and capability building as they do in technology deployment.
The language of digital transformation and the language of investment returns rarely speak to each other well. Transformation teams talk about capabilities and platforms. Boards and investors talk about margins, risk, and competitive position.
The organisations that secure sustained investment translate every transformation initiative into three things: cost reduction, revenue enablement, or risk mitigation. If you can't map your digital initiative to one of these, you're not ready to present it.
