Digital transformation is no longer just ‘on the agenda’, it is now more of a must for organizations to operate and survive in this new digital economy. And the pandemic ensured this.

Are your business goals and strategies aligned to current market trends? Do you have a digital transformation strategy and roadmap to guide your future-state vision? Are you planning to automate or outsource core parts of your business to achieve greater efficiencies? Are you seeking new investment opportunities? Do you need strategic support to plan and/or implement a special transformation initiative or project? 

During the last 5-6 years, I’ve been engaged on a mix of small to very large business transformation and sourcing projects, and supported several other private and public clients to develop and implement their global development strategies and roadmaps. Today, I am switching focus toward helping smaller businesses harness the power of technology to unlock real business value and growth.
