Closing the gap in digital transformation - importance of expertise

While more technology is being adopted, your company might be falling behind!


At first glance, this statement might sound ironic. Artificial intelligence and automation are no longer futuristic factors. Today, market leaders are actively utilizing AI-driven automation to cut costs and accelerate operations.


 The efficiency gains are substantial.

Businesses that have implemented AI automation report an average 35% reduction in operational costs, according to McKinsey and Salesforce research compiled by AdAI in 2026 (AdAi news). Enterprises deploying AI-driven process automation across three or more departments are saving an average of $4.6 million annually. In the automation sector specifically, companies report 30–50% reductions in operational costs within the first two years of deployment, alongside a 40% improvement in labor productivity in AI-assisted processes, according to World Economic Forum data cited in recent industry research


These are not marginal improvements. They represent a fundamental shift in what's operationally possible—and they explain why market-leading organizations are pulling further ahead of the pack every quarter. Consequently, the gap between companies that successfully execute digital transformation and those don’t is widening.


The Problem: Most organizations don’t know how to execute 

One might argue: why not just adopt Artificial intelligence then? There are plenty of resources out there! However, here's when the real problem emerges. Many companies are actively employing artificial intelligence and making a movement in digital transformation, yet many companies are falling to adopt in the right direction that they intended which is totally a natural phenomenon regarding that they are not an expert in Artificial intelligence and the fact that it is hard to adopt such a new technology into an existing system. However, the results are catastrophic. Depending on the study, somewhere between 70% and 95% of digital transformation initiatives fail to meet their intended goals(Medium). A widely cited Gartner survey found that only about 48% of digital transformation projects fully meet or exceed their targets, with failed efforts costing organizations an estimated $2.3 trillion per year globally. Moreover, the study backs up that the reason behind this failure is lack of in-house expertise. In fact, according to Cflow apps, 54% of companies cite a lack of expertise as a key barrier to successful digital transformation.


The solution: Bringing in the expertises

This is precisely where the expertises need to step in. They are not a mere outside source, but they will be the core in the process of transformation into digital and potentially change and benefit the entire system in the company. They are the “experienced” and “skilled” individuals who could give benefits beyond “more expertise." Employment of expertise would bring 

-Offer objective and experienced perspectives
Many companies are struggling in executing the technology, but with the experienced perspective, the expertise could advise on the proper employment of the technology. 

-Faster & better efficiency
Rather than a trial-and-error approach that internal teams—who are transforming for the first time— they could suggest a proven execution framework which could both enhance the efficiency and save time.\

-Better management
With the expertise that could consistently point out the cause of failure, companies would have a better resistance to failure in which could happen during the process of employing the technology. Ultimately, they could have a better management of their system


The data on this point is compelling. Organizations that track more than 80% of their transformation KPIs with a data-driven, expert-guided approach are 22 percentage points more likely to realize value from their transformation efforts(Medium). Companies that implement comprehensive best practices—the kind an experienced consultant brings to the table—achieve success rates three times higher than those that don't, regardless of geography or industry (Integrate io). And organizations with a clear understanding of which roles are mission-critical to a transformation—something outside experts are specifically trained to identify—see dramatically better outcomes: 76% of successful transformations report this clarity, compared to just 58% of underperforming ones (Mavim).


Companies that choose this path aren't just avoiding failure—they're seeing measurable business outcomes: improved margins, increased revenue, reduced costs, and meaningfully better operational efficiency. Ultimately, bringing in the expertise is a game changer in the market, determining whether  the companies would go on a successful path or fall behind.
