Where should a Saudi business start its digital transformation?

With a clear-eyed audit of current processes and a focused pilot project, rather than a sweeping overhaul all at once.

Is digital transformation only about technology?

No — it also requires process and change management; technology alone rarely succeeds without those.

How does Vision 2030 factor into this?

It creates strong incentive and support for digital adoption across sectors, accelerating what businesses might otherwise do more slowly.
