Will your digital investment strategy go from virtual to reality?

Oxford Economics and EY surveyed 1,001 executives with technology decision-making responsibility across industries worldwide about their digital strategies and results. This report highlights six key actions to help improve your digital strategy and realize a return on digital investments. Key findings include:

• Digital leaders have clearer strategies and better technical execution, resulting in higher return on digital investment and revenue growth.
• Internet of Things (IoT), cloud and AI become table stakes as digital spend accelerates, but most companies have yet to realize full technology benefits.
• CXOs have differing preferences on organic vs. inorganic digital investment strategies. Digital M&A is more likely to exceed expectations.

At Oxford Economics, we help you surface and quantify those contributions, turning anecdotes into evidence. Our Economic Impact Consulting team builds defensible models that capture direct, indirect, and induced impacts, plus catalytic effects that are often missed, such as supplier development, skills formation, productivity gains, and infrastructure upgrades. We translate your operational data into board and regulator ready insights on jobs, GVA, incomes, and tax across construction and operations, at city, provincial, and national levels. We also run forward looking scenarios, including AI driven load growth, power and carbon forecast, and policy shifts, so you can credibly articulate both today’s impact and tomorrow’s trajectory. The result is a clear country level value story that strengthens stakeholder trust, supports siting and incentives, and helps you scale with confidence.
