Digital Transformation is reshaping our world at an unprecedented pace, moving beyond gradual change to a full-scale revolution. A decade ago, hailing a cab meant flagging down a taxi; today, a few taps on a phone summons a ride directly to your location. This dramatic shift is mirrored in our work lives, where traditional 9-to-5 office jobs are becoming relics, replaced by remote work, virtual meetings, and AI-driven productivity.
