Recommendation

Businesses need to adopt digital technology to compete, but leaders worry that the shift will be costly and will throw legacy practices into disarray. To take your business through a digital transformation that’s efficient, inexpensive and straightforward – and delivers tangible results – Ram Charan and Raj Vattikuti advocate working with a “digital enabler,” a company that understands both your business and cutting-edge technologies. The authors explain how to apply their principles to concrete cases, but, they note, it’s not new technology that transforms a business; it’s how executives lead the newly digitalized company.

Take-Aways

  • Digitalizing your business doesn’t have to be complicated.
  • Digitalizing requires company leaders to adopt a data-driven mind-set.
  • To digitalize your business, establish an effective leadership team.
