The "Swiss factor" in the technical world
"How innovative are Swiss companies?" is the title of a survey for which 250 Swiss adults were interviewed by Prophet. The results of the online survey show a lot of competitive dynamics and great potential.
Innovative strength and digitization strategies are very popular with Swiss companies. Swiss companies have gained the competitive edge primarily because of their clear digital strategy, which is implemented consistently and quickly, according to 79 percent of respondents. And the top managers of Swiss corporations also receive a fair amount of recognition in the survey: 64 percent of the Swiss interviewed said that their boss had a good understanding of digital technologies and business strategies.
"I have the feeling that the young generation of top managers in Switzerland understands the digital world better than in other countries. The topic is omnipresent and it seems that there is a real spirit of optimism, especially in Switzerland, which is often perceived as conservative," says Zurich-based Prophet partner Jan Döring, assessing the results of the survey.
Factor "Switzerland"?
82 percent of the Swiss respondents believe that there is a "Swiss factor" in the Swiss digital economy that stands for quality and innovation. And 83 percent of the interviewees answered that increasing digitization is a great opportunity for Swiss companies and also for them personally.
According to strategy consultant Döring, the core drivers in Switzerland are the fundamentally high drive for innovation and the widespread understanding among top management, compared to other countries, that a digital transformation is something natural and timely and therefore needs to be strongly driven forward in companies: "Switzerland definitely has the opportunity to build on the current hype and develop a real digital value proposition for the country."
