The digital disconnect:
a missed opportunity
for business innovation
and growth in South
Africa?
Just a third of leaders believe
their organisation drives
digital transformation from
the top
Yet, eight in 10 technical pros believe making
this change will improve business performance
35% of business leaders
don’t believe that technology
will impact their role
And over half of organisations
admit they only invest in tech to
‘keep the lights on’
However, both business and IT leaders believe
digitisation will result in:
• A 53% rise in productivity
• 68% business growth
• 69% more innovation
