Everyone talks about digital transformation. Few can show what it really looks like in practice.
We wanted to find out how UK organisations are actually building digital capability - the leadership, culture, and skills that make the difference.
The findings at a glance
The results show encouraging progress, but also clear gaps between ambition and action.
Average scores across UK organisations:
Strategic Leadership & Roadmap – 52%
Content, Experience & Assets – 44%
Data, Insights & Intelligence – 42%
People, Skills & Process Agility – 46%
Customer Centricity & Activation – 41%
In short:
Leadership alignment is ahead of wider digital maturity
Content and AI adoption remain the biggest blockers.
The most mature organisations are embedding experimentation and evidence-based decision-making into daily delivery.
Why this matters
True digital maturity means progress that lasts.
It comes from clear leadership, capable teams, and a culture that can adapt and deliver.
As a B Corp, we see maturity as more than technical skill. It’s clarity in direction, accountability in action, and the confidence to move forward responsibly.
