In this episode of the Digital Disruption Podcast, Chris Williams and Pete Gatenby discuss the challenges and implications of a "strategic disconnect" in digital transformation within the home buying and selling market.

Building on their previous discussion about horizontal digital integration (HDI), they explore how a lack of understanding around HDI and poor communication between strategy and delivery teams can lead to serious consequences.

Key points include:

• Strategic Disconnect: A gap between an organisations strategic goals and the execution by implementation teams, often caused by poor communication and leadership.

• Key Risks: The risks of not addressing strategic disconnects include disruption from competitors, loss of talent, and a poor customer experience.

In this episode of the Digital Disruption Podcast, hosts Chris Williams and Pete Gatenby delve into the topic of vertical fragmentation and its impact on the UK home buying process.
