Our experts introduce the six major areas to address when becoming Business Anywhere and why these matter in our white paper.
Building on our remote work experience, we used the following components to create a custom framework that will ensure your digital-first success:

Customer Experience

Data gathering has evolved beyond client-satisfaction surveys, which do not uncover true points of friction or value. Only a robust insights model, embedded into your organization’s fiber, can truly capture and leverage your customers’ voice and improve your operational future.

Process

Remote workers need easy, convenient and intelligence-driven tools and methods so they can work smarter from anywhere. By driving operational excellence across your processes, you can maximize customer experiences and ensure your workforce focuses on value-added activities.

Technology

Technology is more than a set of enablers — it is a critical business driver for both customers and employees. As a result, your organization’s technology strategy must enable your customers’ desired outcomes and provide your workforce with the right tools to facilitate them.

Information

In the past, organizations mainly used data for business intelligence (BI) reporting and dashboards. Business Anywhere organizations know that data’s greatest value often lies hidden and unexplored beneath the surface. Business Anywhere organizations use data from across the enterprise at key decision points.

Structure

Technology, processes and information are essential for empowering people to be productive and drive business. Your organization’s structure must also align with your strategy, goals and business requirements to enable the execution of your strategy, facilitate growth, manage disruption and develop a culture of agility.

People

Businesses need employees who can collaborate, lead and thrive amid the challenges of fully virtual, in-person or hybrid operations. Meeting these challenges will likely start with technology, but it will quickly require instilling a people-centric workforce strategy designed for collaboration, well-being, productivity, engagement and team effectiveness.
