Abstract
The integration of digital technologies is changing the way organizations operate and deliver value. Digitizing operations may replace manual work through increased automation, but it may also enable smarter execution of workflows thereby augmenting human work. Evaluating the level and reach of these three pillars--digitization, automation, and smart--across the organization’s value chain provides a diagnostic tool that can inspire future desired directions of digitization.
