They tackle unpleasant issues and see them through to the end.

SUSTAINABLE AND MODERATE PACE OF CHANGE
Digital (R)Evolution
Digital transformation as a marketing term has been around for some time. But transformation implies a comprehensive change from one state to another. Such a “state change” is neither easy to achieve nor can it be planned and implemented in a meaningful way without massively disrupting the entire company.
For a small, agile (perhaps even cloud-born) company with less than 50 employees, a revolutionary “transformation” may be possible. The challenges posed by rapid transformation, cultural and business change, and the impact on day-to-day business are much easier to manage.
