New technologies and troves of data are helping enterprises create more value in nearly everything they do.

In this report, KPMG professionals share findings from a survey of more than 2,000 executives around the world, as well as insights from our work with clients across industries to illuminate how enterprises can capitalise on this historic inflection point, creating more value and achieving enduring competitive advantages.

The report also reveals that many enterprises are now strengthening four building blocks of success in the new era; data and tech foundations, transformation orchestration, resilient cultures, and ecosystem strategies to meet changing demands. These technological advances won’t create value on their own – success will require leaders to think and act in new ways.

The new digital building blocks of success

These are the most important building blocks in a digital-age transformation,
and actions you can take to implement them.


Foster a culture of trust

Culture confers an advantage as change becomes constant. Establishing a culture of trust, shared values, and alignment to strategic vision are a key to transformation success and long-term organisational resilience.

Leverage the value of data

Digitally mature enterprises will outperform enterprises that are not leveraging the full value of their data, technology and people. The underinvestment in data and tech foundations and digital literacy puts future gains at risk.

Build strong partner ecosystems

Constrained capital, demand for digital capabilities, and changes in business models will spur enterprises to rethink their partner ecosystems to gain competitive advantage.

Align and orchestrate processes

With change becoming constant, it's more important than ever to deliver value at speed and at scale, through organisational alignment and orchestration.
