Bridging the Value Void: How Leading Organisations Unlock Productivity Gains
Economic pressures, shifting consumer expectations, outdated infrastructure, and siloed data—these challenges are pushing organisations to rethink their approach to digital transformation. Too often, there’s a gap between the promise of technology and the actual value it delivers. This ‘value void’ can make or break an organisation’s success.
With access to groundbreaking technologies like generative AI and digital automation, companies have an opportunity to boost productivity and drive significant value creation. But how can these innovations be harnessed effectively?
To explore this, Infor conducted one of the largest global industry surveys of its kind, gathering insights from over 3,600 respondents across seven industries in 15 countries. Our research uncovered four key characteristics that highly productive organisations share—what we call ‘Vectors to Value.’
The Four Vectors to Value
- Processes and Systems: High-performing organisations make their processes a competitive advantage. By leveraging technology, they gain visibility into operations, allowing them to identify and unlock optimisation opportunities.
- Agility and Future-Readiness: They are adaptable and forward-thinking. Using tools like generative AI, robotic process automation (RPA), and process intelligence, they reduce risk, respond quickly to disruptions, and optimise their existing technology investments.
- Culture of Data: They use data strategically, ensuring teams have real-time access to the insights they need. This fuels innovation and allows them to extract more value at every stage.
- Customer Focus: The most successful organisations prioritise customer outcomes, integrating feedback into every aspect of their business to stay ahead of evolving expectations.
Unlocking the Productivity Advantage
McKinsey research suggests that digital transformation, when executed effectively, could add up to 1% to annual productivity growth—and even more for early adopters of technologies like generative AI. Our survey found that 75% of organisations expect a productivity increase of over 20% in the next three years.
So, how can you achieve these gains? The key lies in the intersection of the right technology investments, efficient processes, and a culture that embraces agility and innovation. Our research highlights the behaviours of top-performing organisations, offering a blueprint for unlocking greater productivity and long-term value.
