Previous Article Pagination Next Article Frequently Asked Questions What is digital transformation? + Digital transformation is the process of modernising a business’s technology foundation with digital tools and integrating them into every aspect of operations. It changes how organisations operate, deliver value, and engage with customers. More than adopting new technologies, it involves rethinking business models, processes, and workplace culture to remain competitive and differentiate in today’s digital-first economy. What does a digital consultancy do? + A digital transformation consultancy partner with businesses to guide their digital transformation journey. This includes assessing current capabilities, recommending and implementing the right technologies, improving customer experience, analysing data, and managing organisational change. The goal is to align digital initiatives with business strategy so that measurable results are delivered. What are the five pillars of digital transformation? + Customer experienceOperational agility and processesBusiness modelsDigital technology strategyChange management These pillars provide a comprehensive framework for businesses undergoing digital transformation, ensuring that all key aspects of the organisation are considered and enhanced. What is the biggest obstacle in digital transformation? + The most common obstacle in digital transformation is resistance to change. This can show up as reluctance to adopt new technologies, a lack of digital skills within the workforce, budget limitations, or insufficient planning and delivery of digital strategies. Overcoming these challenges requires strong leadership, clear communication of the benefits, and investment in the skills and culture needed to enable transformation. Why do many digital transformation initiatives fail and how can Protiviti’s consulting reduce the risks? + Many digital transformation programs fail due to fragmented strategies, unclear goals, or poor execution. Some overlook the importance of customer experience, while others underestimate the cultural change required. Without a clear plan and strong leadership, digital initiatives can stall or deliver limited value. Protiviti’s digital transformation consulting in Australia reduces these risks by designing outcome-based roadmaps, strengthening operating models, and embedding proven delivery frameworks. This ensures programs are de-risked, measurable, and built to scale across different regions and regulatory environments. How do digital transformation consulting services deliver measurable ROI for organisations? + Digital transformation consultants focus on aligning technology investments with business objectives, ensuring that every initiative improves efficiency, customer experience, or revenue growth. ROI is measured through KPIs such as reduced operational costs, faster time-to-market, and improved customer retention. How do digital transformation consultants use AI to accelerate business outcomes? + Artificial intelligence is at the core of many digital transformation services today. Digital transformation consultants help organisations apply AI for predictive analytics, personalised customer experiences, process automation, and intelligent decision-making. By embedding AI into transformation strategies, businesses can unlock faster innovation, reduce costs, and create data-driven products and services that give them a competitive edge. Which emerging technologies are driving the next wave of digital transformation services? + Today’s digital transformation consulting engagements prioritise AI, machine learning, cloud migration, edge computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies enable faster decision-making, real-time customer engagement, and new digital revenue models which are critical to staying competitive in global markets. How can digital transformation consultants help organisations navigate complex data privacy and compliance requirements in Australia? + In Australia, organisations must comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) while pursuing digital innovation. Digital transformation consultants help businesses design strategies that embed privacy-by-design, strengthen data governance, and align technology adoption with regulatory obligations. This ensures secure, ethical use of data, reduces compliance risks, and builds trust with customers and regulators. What are Protiviti's digital transformation services? + Protiviti’s digital transformation consulting experts in Australia provide end-to-end support across digital transformation strategy, business agility and innovation, digital product optimisation, marketing and sales acceleration, performance measurement and advanced digital technologies to help businesses stay competitive in today’s digital-first world.
