Digital First’s Digital Workplace Strategy has been developed with the purpose of enabling digital capacity and digital dexterity to support organisations in their standards and services. The strategy is built upon the 4 domains of a digital workplace which incorporate the entire digital working environment and the culture surrounding how employees adapt and interact with it.

The vision for the digital workplace is to empower all employees to optimise their individual work practices, work collaboratively in groups that cross organisational boundaries, thereby continuously improving their relevance to their customers.

The table below outlines the core competencies that make up each of the 4 domains and the vison for each when the organisation reaches peak digital maturity.
