Example:
顧客のビジネスを変革する提案をする。
"transform" seemed the most appropriate word for 変革 in the context 
where I found this sentence (someone who is helping others to improve 
their business success)
.
"innovation" is from Genius WaEi
. 
I suggested "revolutionize" because it's not obvious what the English 
verb equivalent for "revolution" would be -- 
"have a revolution"? 
"cause a revolution"?
I don't think these accurately convey what 変革する means?
The Google Translate alternatives for 変革する are:
1. transform
2. transforming
3. to transform
4. transforms
5. to revolutionize
