Every transformation has its visible milestones: the system that goes live, the dashboard that finally works, the strategy that gets board approval. What is harder to see are the conversations that made all of that possible. The quiet moments where resistance turned into commitment. In this final chapter, Alex faces the human side of change: a handful of senior leaders who ...
