Equipping employees with technology and data that materially improves their impact on business conditions and allows faster adaptation to market needs to scale and grow.
How to Cultivate it
Digital enablement entails deploying tools that make employees more effective.
Why it's Important
When tools amplify employee talent and help them work together better as teams, this transitions into a key strategic advantage.
Our survey confirmed that respondents are underwhelmed by how effectively technology is enabling employees. Fewer than 10% of respondents were advocates (rating 9-10) for any of the five key technology tools we asked about. The bottom line: companies need to do much more to digitally enable their employees.
What’s the problem? Respondents pointed to a lack of a clear strategy (38%), lack of budget (32%) and inflexibility of legacy systems (32%) as the biggest challenges (see Figure 8). Indeed, the advantages of being a digital enterprise are well documented, yet only 18% of companies are implementing a true digital strategy.
