No matter how faddish the technology or grand the vision, excelling at the basics is essential. The authors illustrate how to adroitly sequence business fundamentals to execute a successful digital transformation.

Companies dont lack ideas for digitalization. They lack success in having these initiatives contribute to the bottom line. Examples of failures are aplenty because not all aspects were considered.

A must-read to harvest results from your investments in digitalization.

Hacking Digital delivers on its promise by taking problems straight out of real life and providing honest analysis and practical solutions to solve them.

Tom Voskes, Managing Partner, SparkOptimus

The purpose of any digital transformation is about your consumers and your future relevance as a social entity. Transformation starts with people, organization, and culture. It also requires many technical and financial enablers. The challenge is to create the relevant ecosystems to effectively and sustainably adapt to fast-changing and complex environments that are now the norm. This is nicely said, but how do we start/accelerate, how do we operationalize this transformation and adapt to different context if there is not a unique path to follow? Doing is everything, and Hacking Digital, as a practical compilation of insights and best practices, will inspire and help many leaders accelerate their transformational journey whatever the step they are in.

Cyril Lamblard, Global Head of eBusiness, Nestl Nespresso S.A.
