Often companies tout "innovation" as one of their core beliefs – so what does that mean? Innovation of products? Innovation of processes? Innovation of office temperature consensus? Here are three traits of a culture of innovation: 1. Leaders accept and encourage challenges from employees 2. Companies have examples of ways they have changed and pivoted, not just for clients but internally 3. Leaders will create and champion opportunities for innovation through committees, events, blocked times, etc. What does a culture of innovation mean to you?

Thought Leadership Spotlight with Jack Thesing, Digineer Low Code Leader, on Accelerating Success by Leveraging Low-Code Platforms for Agile, User-Centric Development. In a highly competitive market, where speed to get the right solutions out at the right time can be critical to success, understanding the needs of the business and end-users is crucial. In today’s fast-paced business environment, the ability to quickly prototype and iterate on software solutions has become a crucial competitive advantage. Even with the implementation of an Agile framework, traditional software development can be slow, requiring extensive resources and significant time to produce a functional product. This often leads to misalignment between business goals and the final solution. To bridge this gap, low-code development platforms offer a powerful way to rapidly create prototypes, gather feedback, and refine solutions, ensuring they meet both business and end-user needs. According to Gartner, by 2024, low-code application development will account for more than 65% of application development activity. This reflects a growing recognition of low-code’s ability to rapidly deliver business value. Gartner also highlights that low-code platforms are particularly effective in environments that require rapid application development and delivery, such as those that adopt Agile and DevOps methodologies. Low-code platforms, combined with an Agile approach, provide businesses with a powerful toolkit for quickly building and refining digital solutions. By enabling rapid prototyping and fostering continuous feedback, organizations can ensure that the solutions they develop are aligned with the needs of the business and its users. This iterative, user-centric approach reduces the risk of project failure, accelerates time-to-market, and maximizes the value of digital transformation initiatives. Digineer has a proven track record in establishing project delivery methodologies and change management to drive rapid development with alignment between the business and IT to implement solutions and supporting processes that meet the needs of the business.

Thought Leadership Spotlight with Garret Anderson, Digineer Artificial Intelligence Practice Lead, Exploring Why 80% of AI Projects Fail—and How a Pragmatic Approach Can Turn the Tide. In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, many companies find themselves caught in an arms race, striving to match the infrastructure and R&D prowess of Big Tech. However, this frantic race often leads to significant financial waste as businesses invest in technology without a clear path to delivering tangible value. For many companies, the mission is clear when trying to implement AI; generate and deliver real value through data science. By adopting a pragmatic approach to AI, Digineer trusts that organizations can consistently achieve net positive ROI each year. Today it is estimated that over 80% of AI and Machine Learning models never reach production. This startling statistic often stems from misaligned expectations and a lack of focus on business value, leading to projects that ultimately fail to deliver on their promises. At Digineer, we firmly believe that the key to unlocking the true potential of AI lies in a Pragmatic AI approach. Rather than getting swept up in the frenzy of competing with Big Tech, businesses should prioritize responsible innovation with a focus on measurable impact. By setting clear expectations and aligning AI initiatives with tangible business outcomes, companies can avoid the common pitfalls that derail so many AI projects. This Pragmatic AI philosophy is deeply ingrained in how we operate at Digineer. Our approach is not about chasing the latest trend or technology for the sake of it; it's about delivering solutions that drive real, measurable results for our clients. We understand that AI is a tool, not an end in itself, and we use it to empower businesses to innovate responsibly and effectively. If your organization is struggling to translate AI investments into real business value, we can help. With our experience and proven approach, we guide our clients through the complexities of AI strategy, delivery and adoption, ensuring that every project is grounded in business value and designed for success. Let Digineer be your partner in navigating the AI landscape, turning innovation into a competitive advantage that drives your business forward. #ThoughtLeadership #ArtificialIntelligence #PragmaticAI #Innovation #TurnResultsOn #WhyIDigineer

Thought Leadership Spotlight with Jeff Barsness, Digineer Low Code Leader, Exploring How Low Code Can Cut Costs While Preserving Value. Leaders are continuously asked to do more with less, and this often translates into cutting projects, staff, or functionality. However, by shifting the way work is done, the portion of the overall budget required to keep the lights on can be reduced while simultaneously delivering more business capability for the same cost. As noted by Gartner, low-code tools and platforms have evolved from an effective but limited option into a highly scalable and secure way for development teams to iterate faster with higher quality. Of the 4 out of 5 U.S. organizations that are using low-code solutions, those that are effectively using them to build mission-critical applications and seeing the largest tangible financial benefits have addressed the most common barriers in six core areas – Attitudes & Culture, Organization & Team Structure, Solution Assessment & Requirements, SDLC & Governance, Talent and Technology. To take full advantage of this new way of working often takes a culture shift and changes in how an organization works, but for leaders looking to stand out from the crowd the challenge can lead to significant business and personal gain. For over 26 years, Digineer has created a culture to customize and adapt to ensure we are operating most efficiently and effectively. If your company is feeling the squeeze to reduce cost or increase productivity, reach out! We would love to share the challenges and successes of how clients have leveraged high-performance low-code to transform their business. #DigineerDifference #DigitalTransformation #ConsultingExcellence #WhyIDigineer #TurnResultsOn #InnovativeApproach #BusinessSuccess
