• Where should we be shifting to digital marketing, spending less to get more? What can we be doing real time?
• How can we keep up with new and nimble competitors? What will it take to increase our speed of innovation, delivery and learning?
• How can we make the right IT investments to support our digital aspirations? How do we develop a technology operating model that enables the delivery and operational capabilities needed to deliver on our digital priorities?
• Customers are interacting less in our physical channels—how do we make the most of in person interactions and how can digital help in-store?

With the field quickly emerging and advancing, ExpertActions experts from across our industry and capability areas—including Strategy, Organization, Information Technology, Customer Strategy & Marketing, Consumer Products and Financial Services. Our digital consultants help our clients achieve digital leadership. Using a robust set of proprietary tools, we work with clients to create highly customized roadmaps based on their unique circumstances and needs. Our approach to digital transformation is guided by four distinctive elements:

1. We start with the consumer. We use the latest and most relevant consumer intelligence to inform strategy, rather than building upon existing infrastructure and operations that may or may not fit emerging marketplace demands.

2. We build organizations that are adaptive. In the ever-changing digital world, reactionary quick fixes won't cut it for long. We help companies create the capacity to continuously innovate through such processes as rapid prototyping, test and learn and customer learning loops, so that the investments in digital lead to sustainable growth even in a tumultuous marketplace.

3. We develop robust technology operating models. Our holistic approach addresses all elements of IT and ensures that our clients have the right technology foundation in place to support their digital aspirations.

4. We take a proactive approach to change management. The best-laid strategy can sink if employees choose to resist it. From day one, we help clients think about how to drive a cultural mindset shift within the organization, involving change champions to co-create and roll out the plan.
