On average, survey respondents report their organizations practice slightly more than 1/3 of what’s needed to function as an ADE. The 2022/23 Global ADE Index is 46.1%, representing a net increase of 17.3%.
Today’s businesses require a range of emerging and evolving technologies to create a compelling customer experience and deliver operational excellence. It’s why many companies strive to become an Autonomous Digital Enterprise (ADE).

WHAT IS AN ADE?
An ADE is a customer-centric, agile, and data-driven organization that minimizes manual effort to capitalize on human creativity, skills, and intellect. An ADE continuously examines its customer and partner relationships to create new value intelligently.
