I've spent quite a long time on digital transformation projects in the last few years. Very often I've had the impression that returns on such investments were taken for granted more than thoughtfully evaluated. What's the real impact on my business if I don't do it? is one of the questions I've asked myself and my team many times. Bottke's book is particularly insightful in providing answers to the tough questions an executive wouldand should! typically ask. The pandemic forced all of us to look to our businesses in a completely different way and the real question is no longer Where do we want to go? but How do we get there? Digital transformation can be complex, especially for those organizations that still operate in silosbecause it requires a systemic approach that involves changing mindset, culture, and processes. This book is a really helpful guide for the tricky journey toward an enormous organizational transformation.
