“ Transformation is not a quick solution , but rather a change of mind and attitude .”
Business transformations are bold , seismic shifts that organisations make to accelerate change and growth beyond typical incremental advancements . The scope is broad and strategic , such as switching to new business or operating models .
Organisations undertake business transformations to create additional value . This may mean unlocking the potential of employees , harnessing intellectual property and proprietary technology for additional purposes , or becoming more efficient to maximise the company ’ s potential .
Business transformations are large , multi-year initiatives requiring wholesale changes to fundamental aspects of the companies being transformed . Given the size , scope , and timeframe of the undertaking , it must be driven from the top — be it the CEO or the Board of Directors — with the goal of positioning the company for sustained success and growth for the foreseeable future .
These transformations used to take many years . Now , the urgency of these changes and the support available have accelerated the timelines . Many are now being completed in months versus years . Source : www . productplan . com . PA
