    As businesses navigate the VUCAH (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous, Hyperconnected) economy, each business challenge or problem statement is unique and requires a flexible approach to empathize and fully appreciate the issues at hand before working on scalable solutions that are agile enough to adapt with the changing environment.
