Something more fundamental is almost certainly at play here.

I suspect these are organisations which anyway outperform their peers based on sound organisational health and good, human-centric management. These are the very qualities that also allow them to more quickly adopt and harness digitization. Correlation? Yes. Causality? No.

The conclusion then, is not that there’s a huge dividend of digitization, but a huge dividend of better, more human management. Which will allow organisations and society to benefit from digital technologies – or any other yet unknown future opportunity.

Curious to hear (or rather, read) other’s thoughts on this.
