European businesses and governments must "think digital" in every part of the value-chain – and on all organisational levels. Acquiring the necessary skills and embracing the digital opportunities is one thing. But integrating these into your business and taking ownership of your digital visions and decisions is a question of mind-set and leadership. Thinking digital will give us a competitive edge. We can start by procuring and invoicing digitally instead of using paper and making sure our business is visible and accessible on the Internet.
