In a recent interview with Biztech Asia, Dr Dennis Khoo talked about All Digital Future and it’s importance on digital transformation.
We are living in a time of exciting technological innovations – digital technologies are driving transformative change and economic paradigms are shifting. These new technologies are reshaping product and factor markets and are profoundly altering business and work. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, we see companies rise up to embark on their digital transformation journeys.
However amidst these adoptions, analysts have cautioned that of US$1.3 trillion spent on digital transformation in 2018 alone, an estimate of US$900 billion went to waste. The reason for this is because 70% of businesses failed to meet their transformation objectives.
So how can companies overcome the odds and achieve long-term success with organization-wide transformation? To answer these questions, we reached out to Dr Dennis Khoo, Managing Partner, All Digital Future LLP. An accomplished digital transformation expert and co-author of ‘Driving Digital Transformation’, Dennis spoke about the common pitfalls of digital transformation including successful strategies that businesses can embark on to succeed in their transformational efforts.
