A State of Disruption Report: Embrace the Future with ITMC
A New Era of Constant Change
As the saying goes, “The only thing that is constant is the relentless march of time.” In today’s world, this adage takes on new significance. Futurist Peter Diamandis aptly stated, “The only constant is change, and the rate of change is accelerating.” In 2024, this insight is more relevant than ever. Businesses must adapt and thrive or face obsolescence. The meteoric rise of e-commerce giants, the revolution of streaming services, and the transformation of traditional industries are clear indicators: transform or perish.
