"Being able to capture value from digital is at the top of every CEO's strategic agenda, and to do that, they have to go beyond just digitizing their business – they have to reimagine it," said Christopher Vollmer, partner and global managing director, Strategy& Digital Services. "We are helping leaders around the world every day to build difference-making digital capabilities that will help drive success today and well into the future. I'm thrilled that IDC recognizes that Strategy& and PwC are delivering on this promise together, from strategy all the way through execution."
