Welcome to the era of "always-on" transformation. Companies are frequently presented with AI, tools and features that promise to revolutionize how individuals work.
The result for leaders? They have to make decisions on instinct. For teams? They lack insight into the why of the change or enough time to adapt. The organization? Slower time to market, with initiatives or programs that don’t have a clear line to revenue in the next 12-18 months.
In a time when workplaces are becoming increasingly distributed, the need for improved workplace collaboration has become more critical than ever before.
