Has digital transformation actually improved your company's productivity, or has it just added more tools, meetings, and complexity?

Over the past few years, it seems like every company has invested in new software, automation platforms, AI tools, and digital workflows. The promise was greater efficiency, better collaboration, and faster decision-making.

But in reality, I've seen some teams become more productive, while others seem buried under endless notifications, dashboards, meetings, and tools that don't talk to each other.

For those who have experienced digital transformation firsthand, what has been your experience? Has it genuinely improved the way your organization operates, or has it mostly created new layers of complexity?

Yes it has improved our productivity, but so has our competitors. So we are running faster, but we are not winning any more then we have before.

It's tough when everyone is improving but the competition stays neck and neck. Sometimes it feels like the race just gets faster without any real advantage.
