“Excellent firms don’t believe in excellence – only in constant improvement and constant change” – Tom Peters
Organizations take out journeys to reach business excellence and these are never ending ones. As the competitive landscapes change, firms look out for new ways to improve their performance and excel in their field of business. For the last many decades, one path in this journey has been through quality management initiatives like Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, ISO certifications, Business Excellence Awards and others. Another path is embracing innovative technologies which can provide sustained competitive advantage. Today, organizations have realized that technology and related infrastructure is not just an enabler but a driving force in their journey towards excellence. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdowns have made the digital transformation of organizational processes inevitable. This need for digital transformation has opened up a gamut of opportunities for organizations along with lots of challenges.
