Why the old way of doing business is dying
The "old way" of doing business—think rigid hierarchies, brick-and-mortar reliance, and slow, siloed processes—is fading because it can't keep up with today's pace. Technology, especially AI and automation, has shifted expectations. Customers demand instant, personalised experiences; businesses that can't deliver lose out to agile competitors. Remote work and global connectivity have shredded the 9-to-5 office model, pushing decentralised, flexible systems. Data from recent trends shows e-commerce and digital services growing exponentially—global e-commerce sales hit $5.8 trillion in 2023, projected to reach $8 trillion by 2025. Meanwhile, traditional retail struggles to adapt. Add in supply chain disruptions and sustainability pressures, and old-school models just don’t cut it. Nimble, tech-driven companies are eating their lunch by prioritising speed, adaptability, and customer obsession. The old guard either evolves or gets left behind.

The stark contrast between outdated, rigid models and the agile, tech-driven future is so relevant right now. The statistics on e-commerce growth are eye-opening and drive home the urgency for businesses to adapt.
I especially appreciate your emphasis on speed, adaptability, and customer obsession as key drivers of success. Businesses need to understand that it is adapt or perish.
