L.E.K. Digital Insights
Digital Strategy
How do I unblock digital innovation in my business?
Digital innovation promises much but is easily blocked by challenges in accessing the right insight in order to decide on the way forward. Understanding the levers that enable successful digital innovation is a vital first step to achieving the value it can deliver.
Digital Ways of Working
How do I avoid common pitfalls in my digital transformation?
The technology tools used are often a small component of digital transformation. Getting the best from your people and processes through achieving the right focus, alignment, structure and visibility is essential to navigating your transformation successfully.
Digital Transformation
Why is my digital transformation not delivering the expected benefits?
A yawning gap between business expectations and the reality of how to effectively deliver digital transformation prevents essential change. Identifying and correctly fitting your approach to your business is critical to achieving the desired benefits.
Digital Disruption
When should I use disruptive innovation?
Business-as-usual priorities often prevent core business units from realising the potential of digital initiatives. Disruptive innovation provides the capability to transform organisations in a way that the core organisation can be unable to.
AI Strategy
What are common views of businesses on the use of generative AI?
Considerable variation in how businesses are approaching the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has been observed. Understanding how similar businesses are treating this new technology can help us all reflect on our current priorities and strategy.
Digital Strategy
How are leaders approaching the management of heightened business uncertainty?
An increasing number of unknowns have recently had significant impact on how leaders balance the planning of future digital and change initiatives with dealing with what’s necessary in the short term. Pushing organisational planning to deliver on short-term needs whilst enabling delivery of long-term value is key to managing this uncertainty.
Customer Experience
Why are businesses worried about the ‘cookie apocalypse’?
Businesses have come to rely on cookies for the customer insights needed to shape truly individualised online experiences. But shifting regulation and consumer behaviours present both challenges and opportunities for those ready to review their approach and invest in new strategies.
Digital touches virtually every part of the business life-cycle and has grown to be an essential component in any successful corporate strategy. Our experience on the digital front-line has helped us answer some of the toughest questions organisations face today. Whatever your challenge, our expert team is ready to help you achieve lasting success in the digital-first economy.
