Staggered changes are widely used in Brazilian corporate culture to manage organizational transitions smoothly, particularly in large companies and government institutions. The concept reflects a preference for careful planning and risk mitigation. In Portugal, the approach is similarly valued but often described using the term 'faseadas.' This management strategy is increasingly common in tech sectors and multinational companies operating in Brazil.
