For decades, efficiency has been seen as the key to success. But in a world shaped by uncertainty, technological leaps, and growing competitive pressure, efficiency can quickly become a trap: it cements the status quo and blocks forward thinking.
This white paper explains why companies today need not only to become more efficient, but also to consciously shift between innovation, productivity, and efficiency. Using practical examples and a case study with Telekom, it shows how this triad works and how GenAI can serve as a lever for new value creation.
