A fact-based view of time, cost and inefficiency for CxOs before investing in AI or transformation.
Most organisations have a clear view of their cost base. Very few have true visibility into how time , their most valuable resource , is actually deployed.
20 to 40 percent of effort is absorbed by low-value, manual or fragmented activities. Yet most leadership decisions continue to rely on assumptions rather than data. As a result, investments in techonology and transformation often underdeliver.
Today’s environment demands more. Rising productivity expectations, sustained cost pressure, rapid AI disruption , intuition is no longer sufficient.
Manual / low-value work by function
| Activity | Perceived | Actual | Gap |
| Data preparation | 30% | 55% | 25% |
| Analysis & insights | 50% | 20% | 30% |
| Reporting | 20% | 25% | 5% |
From intuition to insight: A structured path to higher productivity
Digival’s Activity Analysis follows a structured three-step programme to measure, analyse and unlock productivity , comprehensively and practically.
Integrating three finance teams into one , without headcount growth
A leading real estate management company engaged Digival to understand how effort was distributed across three separate finance teams ahead of a planned consolidation. The Activity Analysis revealed significant overlap, fragmentation and non-value-add work that had been invisible to leadership.
The data-backed baseline enabled leadership to design a leaner, more effective structure , reducing cost while improving service delivery.
“The analysis gave us clarity we simply didn’t have before. We were able to make decisions based on facts, not politics.”
Most transformation initiatives begin with ambition.
The ones that succeed begin with clarity.
Whether you are exploring AI, driving cost optimisation or redesigning your operating model , Activity Analysis is the most effective way to move from assumption to action.
