Driving value from digital investments has never been more urgent for businesses across industries and geographies, so our experts designed our 2024 Digital Disruption Survey to get to the heart of the challenges and opportunities technology represents for companies across industries. The key takeaways? Companies should be bold when it comes to innovation, but always practical in purpose. Those who weave pragmatic business objectives into their technology strategy are far more likely to realize returns on their investments than those who silo their technology projects.

Outside of work, Janis Leal is a mother and passionate writer. At AlixPartners, Janis is instrumental to the operations of our Buenos Aires office and over the past 3 years, was the Global Communications Leader for our Hispanics or Latinxs of AlixPartners (HOLA) employee resource group. “I was able to be the voice for our Hispanic and Latino employees who might be less inclined to speak up, especially around difficult topics. Through HOLA, I found community and reconnected with my origins. The experience has helped me redefine my identity and my personal and professional brands while healing from past cultural experiences. I often think about the version of myself at the airport on the day I left Venezuela and said goodbye to my family, my home, and my life to come to Buenos Aires. I was overwhelmed with guilt and fear but also with hope. This Hispanic Heritage Month, I am channeling hope for all those who are away from family, friends and their homelands. I wish them company and love and the certainty that hardship is temporary and does not define us. Celebrating with my colleagues across the firm makes that hope feel even stronger.” #hispanicheritagemonth #lifeatalixpartners

Yesterday, I was pleased to join Romaine Bostick, CFA and Scarlet Fu on Bloomberg Television's The Close to share preliminary findings from the soon-to-launch AlixPartners’ Digital Disruption Survey.    We discussed how top quartile performers are aligning digital strategy and use cases for AI to drive revenue growth and improved operational performance. One thing is clear: putting the right foundations in place is key to unlocking AI’s potential. This starts with securing and expanding your data assets, which are the lifeblood of AI initiatives.   Disruption at every level has made the CEO’s role more challenging, but the winners are those who act boldly both to seize the opportunities and mitigate the challenges it creates. Watch our full conversation below.

Our 2024 Tech Sector Growth and Performance Report, available now, identifies three critical themes that will significantly influence tech companies’ strategic priorities for the foreseeable future: 1. Placing bets with AI will require considerable capital to drive results in years to come. 2. Growth at all costs looks gone for good. Companies will emphasize efficiency to enable future investments. 3. Shifting demand and market needs are forcing a rethink of product and GTM strategies. Giuseppe Gasparro and Eitan Schori discussed these key themes—and so much more—in today's webinar. Watch the full video to hear more, and download this year's report: https://lnkd.in/erR_v_eF
