The 18th century French enlightenment writer Voltaire once said, “If you wish to converse with me, define your terms,” and we need to approach transformation with a similar mindset. Some transformations require changes in investments, while others require changes in behaviors and these have very different challenges. Until fairly recently, our economy was based on atoms and transformations were usually focused on strategic decisions such as building a new factory, entering a new market or launch

The core premise of the strategic concept of “proximity” is that, thanks to digital technologies, value is being created closer and closer to the moment of demand — not just in time but also physically closer. This means companies can, in effect, procrastinate and wait until customer demand is present before producing an actual product or service. This trend, which is made possible by technologies ranging from AI to 3D printing to IoT, can help leaders make smart strategic decisions, especially
