Business Transformation
Business transformation refers to a fundamental change in the strategy, structure, processes, culture, and technology of an organization, with the goal of achieving significant and sustainable improvements. It is a long-term initiative that seeks to prepare the company for new challenges or shifts in the business environment, and can be triggered by changes to the market, technological disruptions, changes in customer expectations, or commercial pressures.
