STRATEGIC ENABLERS

Digital Transformation and Customer Centricity

JG Summit Digital Transformation & Corporate Services continues to champion customer-centricity as it pursues opportunities for value creation within our ecosystem.

Promoting customer-inspired innovation

An initiative of JG Summit Digital Transformation Office (DTO) with Data Analytics Ventures, Inc. (DAVI) boosted the Go Rewards homepage reach and frequency by almost 40%.

Use of data and technology to increase productivity and business results

The JG Summit DTO created an app analytics dashboard for DAVI to foster data access. The dashboard has since saved the business 240 minutes a month.

Developing digital fluency in the conglomerate through in-house programs

In 2023, JG Summit DTO produced the fourth and fifth seasons of the Launchbox accelerator program. Through action learning with actual business challenges, learners accelerated value delivery by prototyping, testing, and producing results.

Launchbox Graduation

JG Summit DTO’s e-learning courses increased the reach of DTO programs so that conglomerate learners can learn anytime, anywhere. In 2023, JG Summit DTO developed these asynchronous foundational modules: Agile for Everyone, Digital Marketing 101, and Design Thinking 101.

Accelerating automations using new technologies

OpenAI Hackathon DAVI presentation

JG Summit Digital Transformation & Corporate Services and Microsoft conducted an Open AI hackathon in 2023. Participants explored low-code tools, familiarized themselves with generative AI and its applications, and delivered nine (9) prototypes that address business challenges. JG Summit Corporate IT, in partnership with URC and Aspen, has implemented one of the hackathon prototypes to expand HR self-service to URC plants.

Achieving operational excellence

  • With the implementation of cloud email security and managed detection and response, cybersecurity rating is now at A.
Creating a culture of customer-first

  • JG Summit Corporate IT completed the rollout of Universal Robina Corporation’s online time and attendance management tool to 17 Branded Consumer Foods Group plants and 9 Sugar and Renewables plants. Employees can use the SimpliTime tool through kiosks deployed in convenient locations around the plants.
