The Goalpost: Transition to a seamless digital model

By Ranga R Kanapathy, Chief Transformation Officer - APAC I Chief Delivery Officer I

Most of them have done the easy work of acquiring basic digital capabilities, typically, by making a shopping list, buying the chosen technologies, and plugging them in with the help of technology experts. And yet, digital transformation projects often either get massively delayed or derailed in delivering tangible outcomes. A big-bang approach is not necessarily the solution. To be competitive, enterprises need a holistic transformation.

"Taking small and achievable steps that yield measurable and noticeable results, faster and repeatably, proves to be the solution."

At Altimetrik, we pride ourselves as that pureplay digital business solutions company. We advocate an approach that is incremental and bite-sized that helps clients achieve rapid business outcomes in an agile manner.

"We re-think not just technologies, but products, processes, customer interfaces and culture, all synergized towards a clear futurestate digital business model."

    Aaya hoon toh kuch leke jaunga

    Two things unlearned in 2024: Unlearning can be one of the most challenging aspects of life because what we've learned often stays with us. (i) However, one of the most important things I've unlearned is taking my health for granted. After facing significant health challenges, I've made a conscious effort to prioritize my well-being and gradually detoxify my lifestyle. (ii) Another key realization for me has been that there’s no age limit to learning.
