Driving Digital Transformation Forward Companies need to embrace the digital revolution to survive in the world as it stands today, but the key to that change is data. The team behind Alldatum Business transform data into wisdom upon which companies can act. In Corporate Vision’s rolling series of 2022 Corporate Excellence Awards, we take a closer look at the team which has earned the title of Best Data Management & Consulting Services Firm 2022 – Mexico to see how they did it. Created in 2016 by Esther Riveroll, Alldatum has revolutionised the way in which many look at the issue of data collection and interpretation. Their leading approach to data management and digital transformation strategies has inspired and empowered organisations throughout Mexico to take advantage of the new potential that is sweeping the international stage. With the simple and clear vision to “unleash digital transformation through data-driven innovation” at the core of the company, it’s little wonder that Alldatum has earned grown to such heights in such a short period of time. More and more people can see that technology is going to lead the way forward, but few are considering how best to link this technology to the clear and present human need. The team see their responsibility as instinctively collaborative, essentially creating incredible opportunities for new professionals and supporting the digitally marginalised to be a part of this brave new world. Where once word of mouth was the best tool to sell a service, now companies depend on social networks and digitalisation. These form the basis on which a company can position itself, creative happy customers, employees and partners who can support your organisation to win the market. This focus on the human factor is why the team stands apart from the competition. No other organisation prioritises the expectations of their clients, not only taking what they want into consideration, but their success more broadly too. The attitude is not simply of a contractor providing a service, but a partner who needs pragmatic and practical guidance. As a result of this approach, the team invest in real Proofs of Concept. Instead of simply showing a PowerPoint of what might be, the team construct a sample to demonstrate what is being offered and how it might best be achieved. The team behind Alldatum take the time to negotiate what they do, investing whatever it takes for their clients to get what they have both agreed to regarding a project. The impact of effective digital strategies reaches out far beyond the clients that the team are serving. Whilst obviously serving the client, the butterfly effect on others can be enormous. These companies might continue to grow, helping out the economy. They might generate new specialized employment opportunities. The impact of this work, if done in the right way, is enormous. To drive this impact demands a team of the highest calibre. They are the people who represent the values of Alldatum to potential customers. The sort of people who are hired to work here might not be experts in the solutions being sold, but they all have the right attitude to thrive, namely they are quick learners, never give up, improve, and live with the firm’s values. Hiring is done on the basis of technical, psychometric exams and three interviews, one of which is to learn more about the candidate’s personal level to see if it aligns with the team’s culture. The culture of any organisation defines how it operates, and Alldatum depends on teamwork. Staff take care of each other and support each other to reinvent and improve themselves day by day. Even in this digital era, the value of getting to know others, of being able to support
