Digital transformation isn't a one-time software upgrade—it’s an ongoing process that requires organizations to continually adapt their technology, processes, and user experiences. Carolyn Ford and James discuss composable architectures, vendor lock-in, shadow workflows, security-by-design, automation, and why modernization efforts should begin with outcomes rather than technology. They also explore how leaders can gain greater visibility into how work actually happens and build systems that can evolve as AI and other technologies accelerate the pace of change.
