Digital transformation and its role in growth is highly relevant today. It’s not just about using new technology, but also about how leaders inspire their teams to succeed in a changing digital world. I agree with the authors of Getting Digital Done that it’s not only about the tech, but also the mindset, people, and culture of a company. How we face challenges, lead with purpose, and innovate together truly makes the difference.

It's Gotta Be Done

In today's fast-paced world of technology, authors Eric J. Bertrand, Len Gilbert, and Jonathan Murray make a persuasive case in their book Getting Digital Done. They stress that for a company to not only survive but also thrive in this dynamic technological environment, it is imperative to strive for a position at the forefront of innovation. Technological changes are constant and often disruptive, meaning that organizations must adapt quickly to avoid being overtaken by competitors.

From this book, I highlight the importance of proper planning and effective change management. I also consider it an invaluable resource for any company wishing to navigate the digital transformation process, not only because it provides theoretical insights but also because it offers a practical framework for organizations to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.

A refreshing take on digital transformation...

"Getting Digital Done" offers a refreshing take on digital transformation by emphasizing organizational readiness over technological solutions. Through a narrative following a CEO's modernization journey, the book presents its counter-intuitive thesis: successful digital change begins with people, not technology. The authors provide a practical framework that prioritizes employee buy-in and engagement.

The book's primary strength is its expert integration of narrative and strategic ideas, rendering intricate transformation principles both comprehensible and practical for executives. By emphasizing the human aspects of change and offering a precise path for execution, it provides leaders with the essential tools to effectively manage digital transformation. This comprehensive guide is an essential resource for executives aiming to modernize their organizations in the current dynamic business landscape.

The focus it has on a holistic digital transformation approach is practical and important to use on any new digital strategy, developing an innovative culture, and skilled workforce. I liked how this book emphasizes the leadership that must be created in this digital transformation to communicate to the entire organization to overcome resistance to change.

Amazing guide for digitalization

Wow! I think we need more books like this to learn new things!! It is the perfect practical guide that would give the reader the essential steps and methods in order to transform and adapt any business into digitalization.
Besides having everything you need for this transformation, the way it is written makes every concept easily to understand. Through every chapter, Bertrand, the author, exposes his own experience, conversations and learnings from his path, as well as an explanation of “what does this mean for you” and a checklist and a toolkit that would be absolutely indispensable for you to take action for each step of the guide. He is very encouraging and realistic that this is not an easy transformation, but it is worth it, and would take your business into another level.

Digitalizing the business

It is amazing how through a story, which tells everything that a company has to do to adapt to the technological changes of today, the authors of this incredible book show all the steps that must be followed to achieve the digitization of business.
This book is an easy to understand guide that will show the reader that, although the change is not easy, it is not impossible to achieve, but very necessary for the company to maintain and remain productive.
It is striking how the book, despite talking about the importance of the digitization of companies, does not leave aside the communication and approval of the most important capital that companies have, which is human talent.

I love these books that help you see the opportunity we have in change. Many people are afraid of new technologies and that is why books like these are so necessary today, because you could end up bankrupting an incredible business, simply because of the fear of not integrating new technologies into your operation. This book helps you understand the importance of digitalization and how it is not only about integrating it into a certain process within your company, but how you should analyze how to include it in all operations to become more competitive and successful. It is an easy-to-read book with a lot of information that, in addition to being interesting, is very useful to start generating better results.

Changing the paradigm towards digitalization is a reinvention process that involves adapting to new business models and ways of working. This paradigm shift requires a new logic to take advantage of the potential for wealth generation that technology offers. In this reading, the team of Mod Op authors shows how any company can implement significant changes in their company to implement digital solutions.
Page after page, this book never ceases to surprise me. I think the approach presented by this team is extremely interesting. Change, like all changes, is not going to be easy, but with the right plan, readers will be well prepared to meet the changing demands of the modern world.

interesting!

We always think that being at the forefront of technology is to implement new tools and that's it, but the truth is that this book explores how to make technology go far beyond the obvious.
The author starts from the premise that to implement technology first requires an operational and cultural change within companies, so he proposes a very practical guide to successfully implement digital solutions with a practical approach and prioritizing the involvement of people.
In my opinion, it is a very interesting book that is also very formative and disruptive so I recommend you to read this book!

Getting Digital Done provides the insight and the tools in navigating the digital world for your business. Technology is constantly changing, but luckily, many things in the business world is kind of set, so this book can be referred back to many times. But I also acknowledge AI is growing, so there is a chance this book can become outdated if many businesses are letting AI be another set-in-stone tool for them. Our authors have included experiences on how their business changed when bringing in digital tools. This is another growth book for business, but this time using digital tools.

The concept of “going digital” is one that nearly all modern companies must undertake, to one extent or another. However, there are aspects of it that are frequently much more complex than you might imagine.

As the owner or CEO of a company, it is incumbent upon you to determine the best way for your company to go digital. That usually involves implementing not only new technology, but also putting in place a customized framework that is going to work perfectly with your particular business model. This is a book full of invaluable tips and techniques to help you do that.

Challenging!

These books are a challenge for me, because the digital era seems to have passed for some, but the book confirms me that it hasn't, it is a matter of method, attitude and updating.

The book has some excellent tips to bring not only companies but people themselves closer to the digital environment, to leave aside the manual, boring and inefficient processes and start to get along with technology in a harmonious way.

I loved it.

I really like and enjoy those books where I feel I am investing in myself, and this book is the perfect example. This book is really relevant in today's reality; people need to increase their knowledge in technology, innovation and the digital environment. One of the things I enjoyed the most is the fact that the reader realizes that there are many things in this digital world that most people still don't know about!

effective approach!

This read gave a solid framework that felt applicable to any business setting. The authors emphasize that technology alone isn’t the answer, which I think is an essential takeaway for leaders who often rush into digital changes without the right foundations.
I felt the book was empowering, especially for executives who might feel overwhelmed by the idea of digital transformation. It lays out clear steps and makes the whole process feel manageable. I walked away with a better understanding of how to approach digital change thoughtfully, focusing on people and strategy first.
