There’s been a lot of talk in digital transformation circles about the concept of digital dexterity. It’s an intersection where philosophy is just as important as a process or a piece of software or hardware.
We believe it’s worth businesses exploring their own digital dexterity, especially to see if gaps in their current situation can be addressed through some analysis of how business is approached. It’s a process that takes time, but it can also reap rewards.
Here’s a look at what digital dexterity means in the business world and how you may be better able to harness it.
How digital dexterity works
Three digital dexterity components need to be examined: beliefs, mindsets, and behaviors. It’s through these areas that a business can go through a transformation that could be impactful in a positive way.
There are four main aspects that you should be looking at with dexterity in the digital world:

This is where your business views data and technology proficiency as vital to career advancement. It’s also where you have staff willing to take on new roles to support digital planning that can advance the company.
Ability to work digitally
This is where the ability to work 24/7 from anywhere in the world comes into play. It’s also important to see where you can best adapt to work on initiatives with unclear or unsettled requirements.
Ambitions to build digital business
Here, you’ll want to see if you take innovations and risks to pursue greater opportunities or effectiveness and if digitalization is critical to your success.
Ability to build digital business
