Digital Maturity

Digital maturity refers to an organisation’s ability to leverage digital technologies to improve processes, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation. It encompasses the extent to which digital tools and strategies are integrated into the business, the culture of continuous improvement, and the ability to adapt to new digital trends. It is a sum of the individual digital maturity of the staff who work for the organisation. Read the latest Digital Maturity Assessment for NHS Boards, Health and Social Care Partnership’s and Local Authorities.
