Executive MBA professor of Digital Transformation.Transformation is a mindset, a model, it is a sophisticated journey of discovery, problem statements, innovative solutions, a brief sense of accomplishment, then the entire cycle starts fresh, all over again. Digital transformation is both highly unforgiving to inefficiencies and yet somehow generous to redundant attempts. Transformation starts within. For me, my many failures and learnings remind me of that every day.
