Contrary to conventional wisdom, most business transformations fail to achieve lasting results. In fact, 75% of companies that undergo transformation efforts struggle to sustain long-term change. However, those that succeed are three times more likely to outperform their peers in both short- and long-term total shareholder return. Our team at Santiago & Company takes a comprehensive approach to business transformation, focusing on driving holistic, long-term growth rather than just cost-cutting measures.

Banks that centralize Gen AI efforts are moving beyond proofs of concept to truly transformative applications, capturing significant value in the process. Yet, as the technology evolves, these organizations remain flexible, ready to pivot to a more distributed approach when it drives even greater returns.

Generative AI redefines how fashion companies conceive products, market campaigns, and engage consumers. Brands that adopt and refine this technology now stand to lead the industry's next creative and commercial wave.
Many CPG companies unknowingly carry a long tail of low-margin SKUs that drain resources and add complexity. By leveraging analytics, a systematic SKU rationalization process, and real-time performance tracking, businesses can optimize their portfolios for sustainable profitability and growth.
