European CEOs and C-suites are increasingly looking at digital capabilities as the primary lever when responding to business challenges and delivering key organizational priorities. According to IDC's Future Enterprise Resilience and Spending Survey (February 2022), 95% of European organizations recognize the need for a digital-first strategy. But with more companies going through their digital transformation (DX) efforts, those that lead the pack should keep adapting and innovating at an even faster pace to maintain their competitive advantage in the race to the future digitally enabled enterprise. In this new digital business era the focus will be less on transforming the business and more on running a digital business. IDC's European Digital Business Strategies service looks at the realities of European digital business by focusing on tangible examples of exceptional digital leadership, case studies, hard data, and vendor strategies across all industries.
