There is plenty of research assessing how ready finance departments are for digital transformation, but are you ready for your digital future? The Association for Finance Professionals (AFP) last year asked this question to more than 900 finance and treasury professionals. The 2018 survey, "Your Personal Digital Readiness," found some surprising results.
First, the survey defined digital readiness as openness to learn about and apply leading technology and data trends. This openness required the skillsets of digital literacy-the ability to derive meaningful information from data, including compilation and analysis-and digital transformation-changing processes, systems and competencies to leverage digital technologies.
