Homonym: pivot (Rotation)
A "pivot" refers to a significant change in strategy or direction, often used in business and entrepreneurship. When a company realizes that its current approach isn't working, it may pivot to explore new opportunities or markets. This can involve altering products, services, or target audiences to better meet customer needs.
In sports, particularly in basketball, a pivot is a fundamental movement where a player keeps one foot planted while rotating the other foot to change direction. This technique allows players to maintain their position while looking for passing options or creating space for a shot.
