COVID-19 has made many businesses change how they work, change how they engage their customers, and even change their products. Several of these businesses have also recognized the need to make these changes within days as opposed to months or weeks. This has resulted in an unprecedented pace of digital transformation; and success, in many cases, depends on how quickly an organization can react to real-time decisions.
