Seventy-seven percent of government agencies say that digital transformation initiatives pushed during the pandemic are already having a positive impact on their organization. COVID-19 propelled many governments into the next stage of digital transformation.

Organizations were then partitioned into high, medium, or low maturity according to a normal distribution. Responses for each pivot were summed together to score their aggregate impact, with higher scores indicating greater maturity. Respondents were asked to rate the degree to which their organization experienced a positive business impact from each of the seven digital pivots. We analyzed these responses to understand the digital maturity of organizations sampled. Respondents also had to indicate they were “very” or “highly” knowledgeable of their organizations’ digital transformations. Qualifying responses came from organizations with at least US$100 million in annual revenue and headcount greater than 500. The survey also included 2,000 executives from the private sector sampled across industries. This study is based on a survey of more than 800 government executives across eight countries with varied sectors and levels of governments (see Appendix).
