Reimagination of business processes sits at the core of digital transformation, and so, by definition, digital transformation challenges the status quo, throwing we-have-always-done-it-this-way sentiment out of the window. Leaders must clearly define what they want to achieve through digital transformation and how they plan to do it.

Traditionally, science has advanced in many cases by having brilliant researchers compete different hypotheses to explain experimental data, and then design experiments to measure which is correct.
