The increase in customer/citizen demand for faster and better quality services has increased the need and focus on digital governance. Digital transformation is a very critical aspect of digital governance; they are interrelated.
Digital governance refers to the effective management and control of digital assets, such as social media, cloud, analytics, wearable computing, etc. The assets considered under digital governance are ideally external-facing because they interact with partners and customers.
On the other hand, digital transformation focuses on customer experience, operational processes, and business models. Without digital governance in place, digital transformation efforts will be scattered, uncoordinated and not aligned with business strategies and objectives. The lack of digital governance increases business risks in many ways.
