ACCELERATION: How did organisations accelerate their Digital journeys over the last 12 months, and how can they grasp this huge opportunity going forward? 

IT leaders and their teams had a great opportunity to show their value in responding to the pandemic. Our annual survey reveals the extent to which 138 senior IT leaders were able to accelerate their digital journeys over the tumultuous last 12 months, and how, in many ways, the pandemic unintentionally created the ideal conditions for IT leaders to excel:

• Over 50% of organisations shifted their entire business operations to digital during the pandemic
• Almost two thirds received additional funding to accelerate initiatives
• 82% stated that business and IT leadership played a key role in improving ways of working across the business
• 68% of respondents either strongly, or generally, agreed that acceleration helped them to digitalise more of their operations
  
  

How can IT leaders grasp this huge opportunity?

2020 has taught us that pace of change, if managed well, can be a disruptive benefit. Organisations can be more agile and take greater risks to accelerate initiatives than they previously thought.

In our Survey Report, we review the progress made in 2020 and advise where IT leaders should now be focusing efforts to best drive digital acceleration.
