Todd Takes This is more about direction than disruption

The shift to Forma does not require immediate change, but it does signal where the industry is heading.

The bottleneck is behavior, not technology

Most teams already have the tools. The challenge is consistently working from a single source of truth.

AI rewards strong data foundations

The real advantage will come to companies that connect and structure their data first.
