DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION DEMYSTIFIED

The buzz and hype created over the last few years around Digital Transformation has resulted in confusion and ubiquity that has rendered the term nearly meaningless. Transformation extends far beyond the technology stack and must include the organization's culture, its operating processes, and virtually every facet of how it functions.

This fact means that leaders must break through the hype and demystify this term once and for all. They must get past the breathless hyperbole and understand what it really means to lead their organization through a continuous digital transformation process.

The demystification of digital transformation and understanding what it really means is critical for all leaders. And that's what this book is about.
