Make the leap, take the lead Slideshare | Accenture

The document discusses how companies can become "Leapfroggers" and close the performance gap between Leaders and Laggards in technology adoption. It finds that Leaders have significantly increased their growth rate compared to Laggards during the COVID-19 pandemic. To become Leapfroggers, companies need to replatform by moving to the cloud, reframe their mindset to focus on innovation and collaboration, and reach by expanding access to technology across their organization and addressing employee and social issues. Case studies are provided of companies like Santander, Carrefour, and Deutsche Telekom that exemplify these approaches and were able to adapt successfully during the pandemic.

In 2019, Santander consolidated all of its digital services into a single global unit, removed potential duplication of apps and systems, and ensured that any new platforms are built “only once.” In replatforming, Santander dismantled internal silos. Systems now clearly map to capabilities. Investments in IT bring together all stakeholders across the organization, instead of creating shadow IT systems and leaving some groups out in the cold. Thanks to these replatforming efforts, the bank's app was recognized as the Best Bank for Digital Services in Spain in 2020.
