The digital reality of European organisations 
European organisations continue to invest in new technology year after year. But do they truly have it under control? Do they understand the cost, the return, and what happens if a critical supplier suddenly becomes unavailable? And are they using technology to fundamentally change how they work, or simply to do the same things more efficiently? These are the questions at the heart of the first edition of the Tech Reality Check.

The dutch reality

The Netherlands sees itself as digitally ahead of the curve. The reality is different. Dutch organisations are lagging behind in control, governance and digital decisiveness. We rank lowest on nearly all themes in the report. The real challenge is not technology — it is governance. The technology is there, and so is the insight. But without clear choices, ownership and direction, nothing changes.  

The biggest gap is not in technology, but in decision-making

Four signals that
the Netherlands is falling behind  

High awareness, limited steering

60% of respondents experience technical debt as a constraint, yet only 18% actively manage it.

Aware, yet exposed

62% of respondents say risks only receive attention once something goes wrong.

Ambition without breakthrough

Only 8% of respondents have established structural data collaboration.

AI without transformation

AI is primarily used to improve efficiency, not yet to transform ways of working.
