Leading Digital: Turning Technology into Business Transformation

This book has significantly aided my understanding of why digital transformation matters and offers great examples of leading organisations that currently benefit from their own transformation. More importantly, the authors have predicted that this will only rapidly increase and is likely to create a lot of exciting opportunities in the future. As a professional working in business advisory, this book has clearly articulated why the pace of digital transformation will continue to increase and the potential dire consequences for those businesses that don't embrace it and be part of the journey. The book is very well structured, easy to read and will be reference companion for the coming months and years ahead to support any form of decision making or business cases for investment.

A critical book for executives on the transformative power of technology. The book is packed full of examples from across industry sectors on the applications of digital to enhance the customer experience, build new business models and improve operation. Westerman gains massive points from me for evidence in the book that digital is connected with greater revenue efficiency and profitability. Overall the book is a very pleasant read and the concepts are presented in a way that will appeal to digital novices and experts. I've dropped one star for two reasons. 1) The longevity of this topic. Digital is fashionable at the moment and I think the case studies in the book will age quickly and become irrelevant for tomorrow's leaders. 2) There are better books on the topic of business change (XLR8 by John Kotter for example) and this is a crucial element of digital transformation Despite one dropped star, this is a must read for executives in any line of business.

Really good book that outlines in practical terms how a digital transformation should occur to achieve maximum benefits. Enjoyed how digital and technology are seen as enablers and not the end in itself to grow sales and profitability. Buzzword and jargon-free. Refreshing read.

Embracing digital transformation is no longer a debate or "a nice to have" for organisations. This book has reinforced the case why it is critical by using examples of companies which are either entering that journey or those which are already reaping off the benefits of digital transformation. A must read for any person in position to influence and lead.

Insightful, interesting read.

There are many books discussing what Digital Disruption is, what it means and what might happen in he future. This books is different in that it provides a framework to measure and a process for business to evolve toward becoming Digital Masters. I'm sure it's not perfect and this space will evolve a lot, however it's definitely one of the best researched books explaining the "how to", not just the "why"

The book exceeded my expectations. It offers to readers various options on the way to the digital transformation of the company's business. The book is supplemented by a series of stories and practices of IT and business managers. I definitely recommend.

A compelling evidence-based account of the emerging theory and successful practice of digital transformation within traditional industries. An essential read for anyone leading or aspiring to lead an organisation within the new economy.

Muy práctico y de lectura muy amena. Todo el que y el como de la transformación digital. Lo recomiendo para los interesados

Good content

A great book on leading digital teams for success. HBR is always the best in this.

This book is sufficiently broad and -- at the same time -- deep that it provides a framework to develop a management consulting service that could lead the masses of tier two companies through the digital transformation from their present states to the futures the management of those companies envision for themselves. Based on my own 40 years of working in the IT field, I can say with confidence the author had touched on all the important issues. I see no omissions. This is high praise from a critical consultant. Even more valuable than the book itself are the references in the book to other materials that explore each issue further. The author never indulges in speculation. He can -- and does -- point to well respected publications that support his claims and provide more detail to the interested reader. It is very clear that this book is a blend of the author's first hand experience in the field (although he never mentions it) and his in-depth, scholarly research. This book will serve as the cornerstone of a consulting practice I am defining at this very moment. My only objection is that the author often pitches his points at such a high level of conceptual abstraction that I felt I had to skip over many of his points if I were to hope to finish the book. In spite of its obvious merit, I would have been happier if the author had presented his points in language that was far more digestible.

Clear, to the point, easy to read, and with a clear and focused message on how to get going with a digitalization program. Very effective
