Key facts

Organizations that lead successful transformations set ambitious goals and targets—and deliver 2.7 times the value initially estimated. They also move quickly and renew the pipeline.¹² The value advantage can be significant. Digital leaders in insurance have five-year growth in TSR that is six times higher than lagging companies. Leaders in consumer packaged goods (CPG) and retail perform three times better than their sector peers, while those in energy, materials, and agriculture perform twice as well.

the value initially estimated.

Implications

Identify a few important and self-contained domains in your business, rethink them completely, and be explicit about the value they can create. Make sure that the solutions on your road map are tied to specific OKRs that directly generate value. Relevant leadership should meet at least once a quarter (though generally more often) to see whether the initiatives you’ve launched are actually creating the value you’ve identified. There’s no such thing as being on autopilot when it comes to managing progress and capturing value.
