there are numerous companies and organizations out there that haven’t yet
strapped themselves in properly for the digital transformation roller

Priya Varghese (a technical writer) talks about how technical
communicators can become agents of change (in a disguised double role),
with the key skills, advantages and vantage points to successfully help
their teams on board the digital transformation journey.
