About this episode

Organizations that effectively support business technologists are 2.6x more likely to accelerate digital transformation.

The increase in the number of business technologists highlights a significant shift in how organizations think about technology and analytics. Technology is no longer reserved solely for IT departments and four out of five technologists work in business areas outside of IT.
