Are you struggling to get started or reach your goals with digitalization and AI?


Most companies strive to improve productivity and enhance customer and user experiences through digitalization, but often struggle with both getting started and reaching their goals. The typical challenges include:


Cultural Challenges

  • Resistance to change
  • Widespread silo thinking, where each department has its own goals and systems
  • Poor communication and collaboration between IT and business

Technological Challenges

  • Outdated IT systems
  • Lack of integration between systems
  • Fragmented and unclear understanding of own data

Skills and Resources

  • Lack of skills and resources
  • Limited utilization of existing and new digital tools

Security and Compliance Requirements

  • Requirements for data security and compliance
  • Managing increasing cyber threats


The challenges often rooted in a generally digitally immature organization. Success in digitalization comes through a holistic focus on both goals and means. Digitalization is a team sport!
