Technology is not everything

Description

Digital disruption is a reality that is part of the evolution of companies, but how can we achieve digital maturity in a world where changes happen faster than we can adapt? The answer is: invest in people, not just technological tools. By making organizational changes, such as developing leaders with an experimental mindset, building cross-functional teams, and becoming more risk tolerant, you will achieve true digital transformation. These statements are based on findings and insights from a collaborative study between MIT Sloan Management Review and Deloitte Digital, which involved more than 16 thousand people, including managers and employees, over four years. The result, presented in this book, shows that, regardless of the size of your company, digital transformation is necessary and depends on people at all hierarchical levels. Furthermore, the authors reflect that every organization needs to understand its digital DNA to stop doing digital and start being digital.

“Packed with data, interviews, and compelling examples, Technology Is Not Everything makes a compelling case for the need for businesses to adapt to current conditions by not just using technology, but by structuring systems and training leaders to embrace continuous learning and adaptability. . It’s also a fantastic guide on how to get started.” 

Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup and the Startup Style.

“Technology is not everything is the perfect read for leaders challenged to respond to the disruption caused by digital technologies! The book does a brilliant job of focusing leaders on specific actions they can take to develop their organizations’ digital capability and not become dazzled by the technologies themselves.”
