As digital technology erodes profit and revenue growth, why aren’t companies responding with bold strategies? “Incumbent players are wrestling with the challenges of how to transform themselves. In 2013, the DBS board 
therefore took the view that if we didn’t lead the charge, frankly, we might die. . . . We really had to digitize completely, not just by putting on digital lipstick.” Piyush GuptaCEO of DBS

Capturing value from customer data 

Organizations are at different data-maturity levels. But regardless of how far along a company is, virtually every organization has valuable customer data assets that could be put to better and more active use. Although the basic requirements of any strategic initiative still apply—articulating a strong and cohesive digital strategy, securing strong leadership backing and the right resources, and prioritizing one or two high-impact pilots—companies don’t need to wait until they have the “perfect” systems or technologies in place. These two foundational steps alone can open up a wellspring of opportunity.
