8 Levers to Digital Transformation
It’s predicted that by 2020, digital technologies, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotic automation will further augment the customer experience (CX) with innovative and personalized solutions.
We live in a hyper-connected world which is dictated by audiovisuals all over. From our simple website to the mobile app, social media or social commerce we consume on a daily base more and more audio-visual content. Companies have to transform their product and services offerings to be presented on a global scale in a digital environment. But having recognized and said that you need so does not take the challenge away to go through this digital transformation.
Do not worry, now it is the right time to get started.
The way you approach digital transformation is a direct reflection of what you will get out of digital. If you are taking a sporadic, ‘get it done’ approach that utilizes a handful of tactics without clear goals or objectives, you can expect a sporadic return on investment. Small businesses are the number one offenders of this approach.

For organizations, this means to be present on all these channels to meet with the potential consumer/client to start the dialogue.
