Humans are creatures of comfort, sometimes to our own demise — and when we fall into habits and patterns, even if they’re not benefitting us, it’s hard to make a significant change.
We’ve all been there at some time or another: you see technology getting more efficient, and you assume making the switch is unnecessary… but as you take note of it with a stubborn side-eye, you start to realize it might make your life much easier. Deep down, you know it’s time for a change, but you continue using self-destructive work methods anyway, waiting for a wake-up call.
When is it time to say “enough is enough” and finally take the first steps towards digital transformation?
The five questions below will give you a guide to knowing when it’s time — and, maybe, that sign you’re looking for.
