What it means to build a digital business
Digital business building is a continuous process that can bridge silos across the organization and drive meaningful impact to the P&L. Taking a venture-backed mindset and thinking holistically across the anatomy of the business can accelerate the organic and inorganic growth journeys.
Digital business building is both an art and a science — inventing sticky solutions beyond the first principles is the ‘art’; translating that value into breakthrough P&L impact is the ‘science.’
