There's a lot of talk about how the crisis accelerated digital projects. So what is the long term impact of the new speed of digital transformations

Projects that were previously on hold for months, or sometimes longer, got approved, and in production in weeks. Teams made design decisions in days that otherwise used to take weeks or months. Companies not only found this new agility, but they also learned the lesson of minimum viable products for digital projects.

Many gained confidence in their ability to produce results under stressful conditions with limited people and funds. Many businesses realized that they had the necessary digital talent all along in-house, and all they needed was to unleash them. 

By some estimates, there are 5-10 times more digital transformation projects underway than the same time last year. I'm not sure anybody really knows. What is clear, though, is how much faster projects move from idea to implementation. The same teams that had spent months pondering transformation programs, were now called upon to deliver them quickly. Their tactical initiative, all of a sudden became a mission-critical board-ready program.
