Therefore, one way to think of the goal of a business is as an ongoing process of producing new value for the end user/client.
Because of the steady stream of emerging technologies and the vast array of opportunities they present, it is difficult to forecast how big the digital future will have an impact on your company or any other sector of the economy.
However, if you apply most of the advices listed above you have the ability to choose to use each new wave of change as a chance to generate new value for your clientele, whatever they may be.
