How do you measure digital transformation?
Increase in revenue maybe? Increase of inbound leads maybe?
I've certainly measured it by increasing the efficiency of process. How do you do something quicker? better?
One of the areas that we have decided to look at is to measure "digital" and do it at scale so you can not only measure people and how digital they are, but also measure a company and compare to the competition and measure an industry.

This also allowed us to measure digital.
Think of it as SSI but turbo charged.

Customers didn’t mind the extra hurdles and time if it meant that Fidelity was performing background checks and taking other security precautions to keep their account safe.
