In times of transformation, look to your product team

The link between digital transformation and product management

As companies work to accelerate their digital transformations, an early challenge is determining who will own these efforts. Product teams offer a blend of technical and business skills, making them well-equipped change agents who can utilize their cross-functional position to help the entire organization evolve.
