Create successful stand-alone centers of excellence for a digital world.

Impact and Result

Organizations that implement this project will draw benefits in the following aspects:

  • Gain awareness and understanding of various aspects that hamper DX.
  • Set the right foundations by having clarity of purpose, alignment on organizational support, and the right leadership in place.
  • Design an optimal operating model by setting up the right organizational structures, management practices, lean and optimal governance, agile teams, and an environment that promotes productivity and wellbeing.
