Stephanie Woerner reads MIT CISR's December 2023 research briefing, which she co-authored with Ina Sebastian and Peter Weill. See the text version and related content at https://cisr.mit.edu/publication/2023_1201_RegainingMomentum_WoernerSebastianWeill.

Abstract: Almost every company that we talk to is working on a digital business transformation—but with new opportunities such as generative AI emerging, transformation is becoming one of several ongoing priorities. When we started measuring transformation progress in 2017, companies were making good progress on becoming future ready; but at the end of 2022, transformation efforts were stalling. In this briefing, we examine why transformations stall—and what actions help companies maintain momentum, illustrated by the transformation journey of Dawn Foods. We also share the most recent financial results for future-ready companies.

Barb Wixom reads MIT CISR's February 2025 research briefing, which she co-authored with Nick van der Meulen and Cynthia Beath. See the text version and related content at https://cisr.mit.edu/publication/2025_0201_DataMonetizationImpact_vanderMeulenWixomBeath.

Abstract: While organizations generally recognize data’s potential to drive business value, many still struggle to realize substantial financial returns from their data monetization strategies. Beyond selecting a strategy, we identified a more critical differentiator for success: data monetization impact. This briefing explores the strategy-specific practices that enable organizations to achieve this impact on strategic business outcomes, providing guidance for leaders seeking to maximize the return on their investments in data initiatives.
