Summary
The need to transform is apparent across all industry segments – including professional services.

Put clients at the centre of your strategy
Make your clients aware of digital innovation and new products, doing this will show them that you’re dedicated to their cause.
Invest in digital skills
77 percent of firms say a lack of internal knowledge prevents them from becoming digital transformers. If you can invest in a digitally savvy team, then they can find ways to drive your innovation effectively.

Use the digital advancements to provide employees of a firm with real-time and useful data.
Implement the right business platform
Use people’s time efficiently, and billable resources, as well as minimising tasks such as time recording, reporting and invoicing with a sturdy enterprise resource planning system.
Use your data
