Standing on Shoulders: A Leader’s Guide to Digital Transformation

Transforming our organizations to compete and thrive in today's digital age requires a combination of "old world thinking" of quality and differentiation and "new world thinking" of meeting your market where it wants to be. But making your organization "digital" is a lot more than creating a compelling mobile app and moving to the cloud. To thrive in the new marketplace, you must think and act differently. In this leader's guide to digital transformation, you'll get practical, actionable information on building an employee and customer-obsessed culture that drives speed and efficiency while leveraging technology to create and deliver your value. The guide will teach you how to: - understand, articulate, and analyze the value you offer; - get development and operations to work better together; - persuade associates to do things differently; and - solve problems in new and creative ways. Whether you work for a small, medium-sized, or large organization, you'll get meaningful guidance on overcoming obstacles that thwart success by learning from others.
