Operations and Process Transformation

As technology informs more business decisions, organizations need to be able to deliver fundamental operations and processes.

Overview

Expanding markets, increasing global competition, rising customer expectations, advanced technologies, increasing digitization—every change in the market affects how a company operates and performs, often dramatically. And these days, it is difficult to respond to one disruption before being thrown off course by the next one.

Exceptionally savvy companies manage these changes by developing broad, cohesive, end-to-end global operating strategies that enable profitable growth and staying nimble enough to respond to rapidly-changing conditions—strategies that not just account for the power of technology to drive innovation, but thrive on it.

Accenture research consistently confirms that operational excellence and execution are key attributes of leading companies in any industry. Our experience shows that through the combination of the right operating model, the right business strategy, the right technology strategy and the right execution path, companies ride out recessions more successfully and emerge from them more quickly, developing competitive advantage regardless of economic conditions.
