I want to thank those nations who allied with us and whose citizens also fought to defeat aggression and tyranny. Finally, I want to especially remember those who died in service to our nation and our allies.

Power & Heavin (2018) argue "Digital disruption is accelerating. Implementing a successful digital transformation strategy requires that senior managers make trade-off decisions to reinvent a business.

Creating a data-centric culture and rewarding data-based decision making leads to successful digital transformation."
