Technology is a fundamental part of everyday life and business, yet it remains a mystery to many. With clients and the competition all becoming increasingly tech-savvy, it is imperative for any company that wants to be a market leader in its field to be on the leading edge of leveraging technology. However, while the potential for transformation may be obvious, many organisations are often at a loss as to how to harness this power effectively. Return on investment is often unclear, benefits are hard to quantify and the change implications for the organisation can be extremely disruptive, especially if implementation is not done properly.
