Why transform.forward?

The term transform.forward (or t.f) stems from game design and coding concepts. refers to the direction an object is facing in a computer program. A "transform" stores information about an object's position, size, or angle. The "transform.forward" is a special part of the transform that shows which direction the object is heading or moving towards. Similar to this coding concept, we help organizations understand themselves so they can move in a forward trajectory.
