Overview

New developments in digital technology offer organisations huge opportunities but also pose big strategic and operational risks. From retail, to music, to financial services, we have seen multiple high profile cases of strategic disruption of traditional markets by new ways of delivering products and services. And, at an operational level, we see organisations exposed to cyber-attacks, data breaches, internet enabled fraud and ransom ware demands. Emerging technologies like block chain, artificial intelligence, robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) will pose further opportunities and challenges.
