What is your Enterprise’s Digital Score?

A new form of enterprise, capable of coping with the uncertainties and dynamism of the external world, is emerging. Driven by the triple play of three pillars – new leadership orientation, people empowerment and digital technologies, the new enterprise is continually building unique capabilities and putting them at the center of its existence.

In an endeavor to decipher the contours of the new enterprise, we at Coeus Age Consulting focused on the digital side of an enterprise. We started with a hypothesis that the new enterprise has to evolve itself on a digital platform, in tandem with the other two pillars. The concept of a Digital Enterprise was synthesized as made up of seven aspects – response to the external digital reality, digital led capabilities to cope with the external digital reality, digital leadership, digital strategy, digital boundaries of interface, digital culture and digital infrastructure.

The seven aspects were put in the form of a framework where response to external digital reality requires digital led capabilities, which in turn emanate from the other five aspects of leadership, strategy, boundary, culture and infrastructure.
