At its core, innovation introduces something new into your current processes and offerings. This means that the pursuit of digital innovation requires changing how you operate and challenging certain known truths of your business.

To overcome resistance and help everyone understand the goal, you need to accurately describe what will happen. By broadening the initiative beyond technology, you create a culture shift that supports scalable innovation and operational excellence.
