True digital transformation depends on cross-functional collaboration to promote more agile and productive approaches to working. As new types of workers and job roles become increasingly diverse, organizations must enhance their provision of secure access to the very best collaboration and productivity tools if they are to stay competitive.
IDC predicts that, by 2021, the contribution of "digital coworkers" will increase by 35% as more tasks are automated and augmented by technology. By 2024, enterprises with intelligent and collaborative work environments will see 30% lower staff turnover, 30% higher productivity, and 30% higher revenue per employee than their peers.
Work transformation is critical for effectively scaling digital transformation initiatives and will serve to drive improvements in business agility, worker productivity, and operational efficiency. Most importantly, it will drive greater engagement and innovation among all employees (including employees), enabling your organization to establish competitive differentiation in a dynamic business environment.
