Digital disruption is a clear and present reality, but it doesn’t have to be a danger. A recent Forbes Insights survey reveals that 51% of executives consider their businesses at risk from digital disruption in the next five years. Almost a third report they are already directly affected by competition from digital- and data-savvy players in their markets. From discussion with our clients, digital disruption is one of the most critical and pervasive challenges for leaders around the world, but it is also a profound opportunity. No industry or organization is immune. So how can we transform and thrive through it?
