Digital transformation is dead. It’s not for lack of trying. Over the past decade, businesses have invested considerable time and resources into pursuing big transformation initiatives. While many may claim success, they’d be hard-pressed to tell you what the last stop on their journey looks like. That’s likely because digital transformation never quite lived up to the hype and shifting market demands.
