Roadmap to Transformation
To remain competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape, it’s essential for all businesses to ramp up investment in technology and digital capabilities. But where should you begin? In this issue of Commercial Insights Magazine, we’re diving deep into the topic of digital transformation, helping business leaders understand the topic in accessible terms and outlining industry trends and changes that are poised to impact your business this year.
True digital transformation requires two things: new technology and operational change. In The Science of Simplicity: Using Technology to Transform Customer Experience (page 14), Chief Marketing Officer Abbas Merchant discusses how consumer behavior has shifted over the last two years and how business leaders can use technology to address those needs. In Digital Transformation Strategies (page 10), we discuss how you can more effectively leverage technology, processes, and people to improve both operational efficiency and customer experience. In Help Found: Retraining Manufacturing Workers for a Digital Age (page 8), we discuss an important piece of the puzzle: how to reinvent existing roles and retrain workers to support digital transformation.
Finally, we’ve shared a range of strategies to help your business navigate challenges, prepare for the future, and make the most of opportunities on the horizon with our new podcast series, Commercial Insights with Regions Bank. The complete first season is available to stream at regions.com/commercialpodcast or on your favorite podcast platform.
