“ With a digital transformation, particularly a digital transformation to a more composable, flexible stack, the real meat of the work is the change that's actually going to happen to the business. It's a change that's going to happen to the communication within the business. How people talk to each other to get things done is going to change. That is something businesses don't accept, understand, believe, or are willing to take on.” – Dom Selvon
