MEASURING
VALUE
Transformation value measurement is often
unstructured and inconsistent
Where Executives Actually Are
75% of organizations don’t measure the impact of their technology transformation investments using a consistent, structured approach

Where Executives Want to Be
Transformation quantification should be strategy-based, top-down, supported with a thoughtful framework, but within it, structured chaos.”

Measurement
Challenges
Assessing the true business value of transformation programs is inherently challenging
BROAD SCOPE
that spans tech, process, and talent across business, functions, and geographies.
MULTIPLE VALUE DRIVERS
such as productivity, experience, and quality, which need to be accounted for.
Many intangibles
such as improved customer experience, which are hard to convert to P&L impact.
Limited data availability, quality and clarity
to conduct detailed, bottom-up analysis.
Different starting points to transformations
such as business, IT, and automation, which demand quantification flexibility.
Intangible benefits are ultimately going to result in more revenue, but they’re really hard to measure. A big challenge we face is that the Board will often not sign off on that level of investment without very clear benefits that they’re looking to deliver.”
