While everyone’s business transformation project is different, a single source of truth can lay a strong foundation for success by enabling a process-based approach, establishing a culture of transparency, and providing an opportunity for analysis and retrospection. Each of these benefits can go a long way in helping ensure your business transformation project not only succeeds but also is sustainable and more widely accepted.
