Signal High performers report 4.5x ROI at lower relative investment

Summary

KPMG reports that high performers earn returns of about 4.5 times on their technology investment. They achieve this while spending less relative to revenue than other organizations, whose average return is around two times. The report interprets this as evidence that high performers have already moved through the early phases of transformation and are now harvesting the benefits of earlier investment. Its data also suggests they have stronger foundations that let each unit of funding go further. The result exemplifies the report's view that returns follow a nonlinear arc, slowing in the middle of the journey and accelerating again with broad maturity.
