Digital Transformation Game Plan

Gary O'Brien, Guo Xiao & Mike Mason

Bring new value to customers by mobilizing tech at the core, powered by a culture of rapid responsiveness.


Digital Transformation Game Plan was written by business leaders for business leaders who believe in transforming enterprises through technology. The authors present precisely what challenges leaders will face during a digital transformation and actions to get started right away for each challenge within three critical areas: realigning business and operating architecture to focus on customer value; creating an agile, responsive organization; and mobilizing tech to be a core competency and differentiator. All while becoming a new kind of leader who embraces uncertainty and has the courage to acknowledge and act on what the data says.

An authentic perspective for leaders wanting to create sustainable change

(1m50) There's been a rush for organizations to change which invariably leads to failed business transformations. But it needn't be that way. In this video, co-author Gary O'Brien explains how the book provides an authentic look at the difficult things companies need to face in order for leaders to move their companies successfully along the path towards digital transformation.

We are living in an inflection point in economic history, from the pre-digital to the digital age. How will you respond—with bandages here and there or with a sustained revamping of your organization’s measures of success, organizational structure, and approach to technology? If you need a good roadmap to the future, look to The Digital Transformation Game Plan as a great place to start your journey.
Jim Highsmith, author of Adaptive Leadership and co-author of the Agile Manifesto
