Accelerating Digital Transformation to Drive Uncommon Growth

With the backdrop of the COVID-19 crisis, there is more pressure for digital transformation to perform than ever. Altimeter, a Prophet company surveyed more than 600 key executives about how they are pursuing digital transformation and the impact of the pandemic (see our global report “The 2020 State of Digital Transformation”), including 100 in Southeast Asia (SEA) across Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. The study reveals interesting differences between digital transformation effort and sentiment in SEA and the rest of the world.

While the rest of the world is becoming more risk-averse, SEA expresses optimism about the future outlook – in fact, a significantly higher number of companies have accelerated their digital transformation initiatives and are focused on growth.

There are five key takeaways regarding digital transformation in Southeast Asia:

  • Top drivers of digital transformation in SEA is more growth-oriented, focusing on improving efficiency to go after new markets and customers while adopting more agile and flexible operation.
  • SEA experiences less financial impact due to COVID-19 than the rest of the world, and they have accelerated investments in digital transformation, especially in marketing operations.
  • Budget cuts are less of a digital transformation challenge to SEA than rigid infrastructure, data quality, ROI articulation as well as digital literacy and expertise within the organization.
  • The focus of digital transformation investments in SEA leans towards connectivity, social and consumer platforms followed by AI & Analytics.
  • There is stronger leadership, culture and optimism of digital transformation in SEA thanks to the consistent and visible efforts driven by top executive in C-Suites, especially CEO & Board of Directors, and CDO

In our new report The 2020 State of Digital Transformation, Altimeter, a Prophet company, surveyed more than 600 executives, including 100 in China, about how they are pursuing digital transformation.

  • The top drivers of digital transformation in China are to build a more resilient and high-performance culture and operation.
  • Compliance concerns, resistance to change and budget are the top three challenges of digital transformation.
  • While the rest of the world is committed to five main technologies, Chinese companies are more diversified by placing smaller bets in more types of tech.
  • There is still much work to be done for Chinese companies to allow better collaboration across all departments and functions.
  • Chinese companies still trail other regions in making data use a core strategic component.

The 2020 State of Digital Transformation

Operations support, agility and revenue are priorities, as firms race to smooth out work-from-home challenges.

Download

Benchmarking Digital Maturity in the COVID-19 Era

The COVID-19 crisis caused a major upheaval in the first half of 2020. Within weeks, organizations made drastic changes that were expected to take years, like shifting employees to remote work and digitizing customer offerings. The digitization of organizations that was previously anticipated to take years happened in a matter of days.

There is now more pressure than ever for digital to perform in ways that can power meaningful business transformations.

This year’s annual State of Digital Transformation report:

  • Examines how organizations pursue digital transformation, analyzing differences based on digital maturity stage, industry, geography, and organization size.
  • Examines the impact of COVID-19 on digital transformation efforts.
  • Offers a comprehensive benchmark of digital maturity across five areas that define customer-focused digital transformation: Leadership and culture, customer experience, marketing and sales, technology and innovation, and data and artificial intelligence.

The report has four major takeaways:

  • Operations support, agility, and revenue are top priorities given COVID-19. The lead use cases are working from home (82%); digital marketing (78% investing to improve); digital selling (76% trying to close compatability gaps); virtual product/ service delivery (52%); and growth initiatives (37%).
  • The more digitally mature the company, the more they are focused on responding to and taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis. The less digitally mature the company, the more they are working on implementing digital basics.
  • Digitally mature companies are maintaining their strategic focus despite the pandemic; they focus on digitally-driven innovation, incorporating a new wave of technologies with an intensity that is outpacing the market.
  • Leadership from CEOs and CIO/CTOs — supplemented by CDOs, Innovation Officers, and Boards — helps ensure firms chart and follow their digital transformation ambitions.
