Passages of business transformation

How to react to digitalization challenges? We make decisions based on feelings, practices, and facts. The following blog will provide an overview of how the style of decision making is changing.

During my many years in the business I faced such situations when most of the participants did not prepare for the meeting. It is not only a disrespect to others but root cause of huge loss of time...
