its digital transformation journey. Organisations who have yet to digitise their products,
services, and operations will find themselves competing for a progressively shrinking
share of their market segment opportunities. One of the first things organisations should
do in embarking on a digital transformation is answer the critical question: What business
outcomes do you want to achieve for customers?
