Digital workplace
Reshaping the workplace
Digitalization brings radical changes for all organizations, independent of industry and size. The competitive landscape is transforming, as existing business models face disruption and traditional value chains disintegrate. In their stead, new value networks are emerging, in which organizations develop products and services together with customers and partners. The result is new digital-business logic that brings significant opportunities for companies and organizations, but also requires new business models to enable new ways of working.
The customer meeting of the future
The new wave of digitalization is driven by changes in customer behavior and rapid technology development that contribute to new business logic for companies and organizations. Being able to meet customers’1 or citizens’ specific needs is central. This means a change of focus from specific customer channels to an optimized and integrated customer experience throughout the entire customer journey, from the store to customer service and online.
