Most organizations do not fail at digital transformation because they lack ideas. They fail because the ideas do not survive contact with day-to-day work. A new capability is announced, a pilot begins, the diagram looks promising, and then reality gets in the way: handoffs are unclear, approvals are inconsistent, ownership is fuzzy, and the work that matters most is still done by habit rather than by design. That gap between intention and execution is the problem the FORGE practices are meant to address.
