Corporate Transformation

Businesses go through constant challenges in this dynamic and ever changing world. Besides mega world events such as internet technology, financial crisis and recent Covid 19 which impacts almost all the businesses, ongoing challenges such as new competitions, falling margins, rising costs and liquidity crunch etc require an agile process of identifying, reviewing, making choices and implementing new course on actions. .  Those who recognize and transform stand a better chance of not only survival but exceling under such circumstance. Every agile executive management team or owner is keen to  find the solutions but are often hindered with immersion into daily fire fighting or its own bias based on own, often useful, experiences and knowledges. Even if right venues for change or improvements are identified, majority do not succeed in implementation, mainly due to existing processes/resources-which often are the causes of problem- and a general lack of aversion to change.
