SECTION 5

VISUALISATION DOMINATES TECH • Technology implementations havemostly focussed on the foundations of visualisation and connectivity. All technologies other than visualisation have under 50%adoption. • Organisations towards the top-end of the spectrumare running five ormore pilots, with a similar number undergoingwider rollout or beingwidely used. Identify Fund The ability to identify and collect digital ideas, whether from within the organisation or from outside An approach to funding ideas – through a central innovation fund, or as part of project budgets The roles, resp nsibilities and team structures that will support development of digital ideas The survey listed a set of 39 technologies, across data capture, data processing, productivity, connectivity, visualisation and systems – with respondents able to mark which technologies are ‘being explored’, have ‘trials/pilots ongoing’, have ‘widespread rollout ongoing’ or are ‘widely utilised’ within their organisations. A process for developing ideas, running pilots and scaling solutions. This could be through stage gates, or a more agile method UKCSData&DigitalMaturitySurvey 2020 Govern Develop 24
