Resist the urge to rush

We know it can be tempting to rush your digital workplace launched. Get it out the door and work out the details later. This may work once in a while, but remember, each wrong turn on the path to digital transformation costs you time, money, and productivity. We recommend taking the time to do upfront research, create a strategy, and get executive buy-in on your plan.
