offers a refreshing and much-needed focus on the people aspect of digital transformation. While many books dive deep into the technological innovations that drive digital change, this one stands out by emphasizing how crucial human factors—such as culture, leadership, and employee engagement—are in ensuring the success of any transformation initiative.
What I appreciate most is the practical approach the authors take in connecting technology to organizational behavior. They present clear strategies for aligning digital initiatives with employee values and building a culture that is open to innovation. The book is filled with real-world examples that show how businesses have navigated the complexities of digital change by focusing on the human side, making it an excellent guide for leaders and managers.
The themes in this book resonate closely with the ideas I explored in my own work, "Purpose-driven Digital Business Revolution", where I also emphasize that successful digital transformation requires a balance between technological advancements and a clear, purpose-driven human element. Both books underscore the importance of purpose and culture in shaping a sustainable and meaningful transformation process.
While this book offers valuable insights, there are moments when I wished for deeper case studies or more detailed step-by-step processes. However, its strength lies in its ability to remind us that digital transformation isn't just about adopting new technologies—it's about transforming the way we work, think, and lead.
