D igital transformation is having a profound effect upon every industry and market across the business landscape . Processes are becoming increasingly automated , decisioning is becoming more intelligent and informed by data analytics , and customers are becoming increasingly expectant of an on-demand , fully customised experience that feels brand new . The digital revolution has even left its mark on industries that have been defined by unceasing change for centuries , further accelerating the pace and need for agility . “ You used to have four fashion cycles . Now there are 52 ,” says Ravi Bhogaraju , Global Head Talent and Organisation Development at Archroma . “ High street brands are turning out a new generation of fashion every single week , which puts a great deal of pressure on upstream suppliers to meet that fast-paced demand .”
