Related verbs: Dis [slang] - to show disrespect for, disparage, belittle, insult or criticize; Shun - to keep away from based on motives of dislike or to take pains to avoid.Business Transformation and its many forms - Business Process Reengineering (BPR), business process improvement, Lean, digital transformation, modernization of enterprise systems, performance management, etc. are all main stream strategic initiatives driving organizational agility, enterprise effectiveness and operational efficiency.I maintain that the soul of these initiatives begins with a solid current "as-is" state process map and sophisticated current state analysis.
