Recent dynamic market changes and uncertain business environments have placed a sharp focus on digital transformation (DX). DX initiatives must clearly align with business strategies and have a clear vision of where, and how, they add value in terms of enhanced profitability, capital efficiency and license to operate. Focusing on enhanced profitability, we start with a simple refresh of the “Profit & Loss” or income statement and demonstrate how it is impacted by DX initiatives, thereby demonstrating how money is made and lost. These general concepts are reinforced with several real-life examples across the upstream, refining and bulk chemical sectors. Through this exercise, conclusions are drawn on where DX has the greatest immediate impact.
