Some think that their sector will be immune to digitalisation, but no matter where your industry is on the maturity curve, more change is on the horizon. Businesses should not underestimate the impact that future disruption will have; they should take action now to not only avoid being left behind, but to also enable them to ‘leapfrog’ the competition. Using digital to transform businesses and deliver long term value A&M’s approach to digital is as an accelerator that can be integrated into a businesses’ operations and processes in a simple and pragmatic way. We have seen increased demand from clients for practical advice on how every aspect of a business can be digitally enabled sustainably, and at scale. To address that, we have evolved digital into a unique proposition that is built on data and analytics, customer and workforce experience, sales and marketing, and new digital business models in a way that strongly complements our existing service offerings and turnaround, results-driven heritage. Our goal is to deliver practical advice, tangible results and create value at scale rather than hyped up prototypes that can be difficult to scale. Our experts provide hands-on, operational advice to support organisations throughout the entire digital journey, from defining the strategy to continuous improvement and innovation to ensure adoption and alignment across the entire organisation. Digital Strategy - Whether digital disruption is a threat or opportunity, fast paced ‘fail or scale’ iterative strategy matters. Data & Intelligence - With massive amounts of data and cheaper than ever compute and storage, Analytics, AI and Intelligent Automation are the cornerstones of the intelligent enterprise. Customer Experience - From social networks to YouTube Channels, and from instore to online, digital marketing/sales/service determine the customer experience. Smart & Connected - Cheap sensors and actuators coupled with edge computing make IoT and 5G powered factories, warehouses, infrastructure and objects smarter than ever. Cloud - Beyond virtualised IT infrastructure, hybrid cloud and SaaS are ripe with opportunities to redefine business models. Cyber - The more digital, the more vulnerable to data theft, hacking or denial of service. Our capabilities will make a significant difference to companies by improving efficiency and unlocking genuine growth and savings in business operations without compromising other areas of the business. How we help clients capture digital and technology-led opportunities We use our heritage in corporate transformation, restructuring and turnaround to help businesses to find the investment to fund their digital journey. We focus on value that can be delivered in months or quarters not years - our model is based on value, not volume. We provide senior experts with deep digital skills blending operational and advisory backgrounds across every business area and geography; most of our practitioners have more than just consulting experience. We cultivate industry and domain relevance not just digital prowess. We offer leadership and end-to-end programme management working with third parties to deliver solutions and outcomes – we are more execution than strategy centric and more advisory than delivery. For large digital initiatives, these are examples of where we can add value: ARCHITECTING The Destination Assessment and Value Targeting Operating Model and Talent Strategy Technology Strategy Pragmatic Business Case and Roadmap ORCHESTRATING The Delivery Journey Service Implementor Selection Project Delivery Governance Proof of Value and Value Tracking NAVIGATING The Change Journey Stakeholder Management Change Management Report Results Plan/Prepare for Scale Capability Development CoE Creation Deliver the Business Case RELATED INSIGHTS Alvarez & Marsal's Growth Continues to Accelerate with Significant Investment Planned in Digital Service Offerings Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has launched a new digital business unit in EMEA designed to transform the financial performance of companies facing, or at risk of, digital disruption, and to help them capture digital and technology-led opportunities.
