Although 94% of ITDMs agree that the speed of digital transformation has accelerated over the last year, decision makers outside of IT departments fail to recognise the extent of change, Dae.mn finds.

Of the respondents that believe they have fully implemented their digital transformation strategy, only 20% are decision makers outside the IT department and 80% are IT decision makers.

It also found that 58% of respondents say that their organization is only in the very early stages of implementing their digital transformation strategy or has only partially implemented it.

Disconnect between ITDMs and non-ITDMs over the value of digital transformation.

A recent IDC report predicted that direct digital transformation would total over $6.8 trillion between 2020 and 2023.

Fitzgerald continues: "Ultimately the solution lies in making sure that the objectives are agreed upon in the preliminary stages of any digital transformation project, and that they are measurable. Additionally, allowing leadership across the entire organization to maintain visibility over digital transformation and communicating with them in terms that they will understand is crucial in mollifying any concerns that they may over budgets, implementation, or general disruption."
