In an increasingly digital society, consumers and citizens have heightened expectations for their everyday interactions.
As a result, digital leaders across industries seek new ways to evolve their strategy and operational models and use technology and information to improve how they operate, deliver products and services, and create value.
These leaders realize results from transformation and generate new opportunities through an end-to-end digital value chain.

What do digital leaders do differently?
Based on nearly 1,700 interviews with business and IT executives in the 2021 CGI Voice of Our Clients, we’ve identified several common characteristics of digital leaders (those who say their organization is producing expected results from digital strategies). These attributes include:
- Clearly define and align on stakeholder outcomes
- View transformation holistically, across the entire value chain
- Modernize, simplify and protect their supply chains and the personal data of stakeholders

Value in motion: Driving forward data-driven decision-making
Digital leaders recognize the need to sense and respond to change quickly and to design their business and operating models to be agile. It is no longer enough to be the most efficient organization with the least errors; you also need to be the most innovative and fast at creating value through that innovation.
To win and be sustainable, organizations need to visualize and simulate decisions enabled by dynamic data and insights. This is what we term “value in motion.” This approach requires enterprises to rethink the mechanics of decision-making in the organization and the enabling technologies.
