Digital technologies are significantly transforming every industry, a change that many have yet to fully recognize. These technologies are driving value creation directly to the point and time of demand, not merely by small increments, but in a profound and sometimes startling manner. This phenomenon is what we refer to as Proximity, and it will shape all sectors for the foreseeable future of our careers.
