-: Hi, I'm C.F. Ong from BCG Kuala Lumpur office.
I'm also the regional DAI leader for Asia Pacific Region.
DAI is a great tool to assess a single organization,
and its utilities wider than that.
In various projects in southeast Asia and Australia,
we have applied the DAI to measure a whole economy
and, in other cases, all government authorities.
In the first project, a public regulator
wanted to define digital sponsorship programs,
and to decide which policies are needed
to accelerate digital development in key sectors.
With the help of DAI, over two thousand companies
across 25 industries were assessed
to determine the whole country's digital index.
This exercise will be repeated over three years
to measure progress, to adjust the policies,
and to also reallocate public funds
where they are most needed.
In the second project,
the Australian government has the ambition
to become a digital leader
in public sector services by 2025.
Therefore, over 500 executives
across 28 authorities completed the DAI assessment.
The outcome was benchmarked
versus the holistic DAI database
to develop a case for change
for the whole government's digital transformation.
DAI is truly seen as an objective
and comprehensive benchmarking tool.
