By 8:30 a.m., the operations team was already behind. A shipment delay overnight. A warehouse was running late. A customer asking—again—for updated delivery forecasts. At the same time, marketing was preparing a performance review. The sales team was refreshing pipeline numbers before their weekly meeting. Finance was finalizing a report for leadership that was needed by the end of the day. Everyone was working….

Every year brings a flood of technology forecasts. Bold claims. Shiny buzzwords. Confident declarations about what leaders must adopt next or risk falling behind. Yet for many organizations, those predictions rarely translate into meaningful results. Investments get made. Tools pile up. Complexity grows. The promised transformation never quite arrives. The challenge is not a lack…
