OrganizationalBottlenecks

To continue expanding horizons, organizations need to break the bottleneck of digitalization and bridge the gap of opportunity between where they are and want to become.

Organizations have limited resources; either for incremental changes or leapfrogging business transformation, it’s crucial to break through these bottlenecks, keep information flow, communication flow, and optimize process and speed, for building change as the differentiated business competency.


Here are some of the key types of business management bottlenecks:

-Reliance on outdated systems or ineffective use of current technologies

-Lack of integration between different software and systems

-Inadequate data management and analytics capabilities
