Leading Digital

Leading Digital makes the provocative argument that the next imminent phase of digital technology adoption – driven by the convergence of mobility, analytics, social media, cloud computing, and embedded devices – will make everything that’s happened so far look like a prelude.

The authors, a trio of highly regarded thought leaders on corporate digital transformation, say changes in the digital realm so far have focused on high tech and media companies – but there’s still a whopping 94% of the business economy that needs to change. This book will show them how.  Case studies include Nike, Caesars, Burberry, Asian Paints, Pages Jaunes, Codelco, and more.
