New thought leadership on the impact of digital technologies and ways of working



Organisations face major disruption to their markets, customers and workforce. Deloitte has developed the Digital Disruption Index to help CXOs understand the impact of digital on their organisations including investment in disruptive technologies, emerging digital business models, recruiting and retaining digital skills and the future of work.

Research methodology

Deloitte invited leaders from the UK's most influential companies and public sector bodies to participate in an online survey. This combined with Deloitte's existing insights has created a detailed picture of the impact of digital across the UK economy on subjects such as:

Digital strategy  – to understand digital business models and if digital strategies are fit for purpose

Digital technology – to determine which technologies are being implemented and the associated cost

Digital skills – to measure the digital capability of organisations and track the creation of 'jobs of the future'

The Digital Disruptuon Index will be published in September 2017.  In the meantime, belowe are some initial findings based on sample data.
