What the Industrial Revolution Can Teach Us About Digital Transformation Today

250 years after the Industrial Revolution reshaped economies and societies, we are living through another great shift,
the "Digital Revolution". AI, automation, and cloud computing are unlocking unprecedented opportunities, but they also

and uphold values. The choices we make now will define the next 250 years.
