About the research

Deloitte Africa invited senior leaders from South Africa and other select African countries’ private and public sectors to participate in an online survey. Eighty-five senior leaders responsible for digital technologies and ways of working participated in the survey, including sixty seven from South African-based organisations. The South African responses formed the basis of this analysis and included:

• • Respondents that were either the executive sponsor (30%), a key stakeholder (27%) or delivery owner (16%) of the organisation’s digital transformation strategy.
• • Cross-industry representation, with the largest representation including the Financial Services (21%), TMT (21%), Extractive Industries and Chemicals (12%), and Consumer Products, Wholesale, Retail and Distribution (12%) industries
• • Organisations representing various sizes, with 25% of organisations reporting a turnover of between US$1m and US$10m in the last financial year, and 22% a turnover of over US$1bn.

The information, which was collected between February and April 2020, has been analysed in aggregate and forms the basis of the analysis in this publication. In some Figures, because of rounding, percentages may not add up to 100. To join our survey panel and help shape future editions of our research please contact hmarais@deloitte.co.za.
