my approach
to business transformation
While it is impossible to have a one-size-fits-all approach to business transformations, there are many common elements to consider. In the Continuous Transformation framework below, you will find my perspective on the 8 key elements to drive successful transformations. Although it may look simple, please be aware that the reality is far from being this elegant: some of the steps will happen in parallel, you will likely need to revisit steps you thought had already been completed, and there will be a number of other adjustments along the way. This is an expected part of any transformation journey.
