Driving Digital: The Leader's Guide to Business Transformation Through Technology de Isaac Sacolick

Driving Digital: The Leader's Guide to Business Transformation Through Technology

Autor Isaac Sacolick
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 aug 2017

Diferența majoră dintre Driving Digital și restul literaturii de profil constă în refuzul autorului de a rămâne în zona conceptelor abstracte. În timp ce multe titluri se mulțumesc să descrie „ce” este revoluția industrială 4.0, Isaac Sacolick explică „cum” se execută aceasta, bazându-se pe experiența sa directă în conducerea unor transformări tehnologice complexe. Notăm cu interes abordarea sa pragmatică, orientată spre rezultate măsurabile, care transformă tehnologia dintr-un centru de cost într-un motor de creștere.

Credem că structura cărții este un avantaj strategic pentru orice lider. Autorul organizează materialul progresiv, pornind de la imperativul transformării și avansând rapid spre practici concrete de Agile și management de portofoliu. Apreciem în mod deosebit capitolele dedicate fundamentelor tehnice, unde Isaac Sacolick detaliază conceptul de „Minimal Viable Practice” și modul în care arhitectura IT trebuie să susțină agilitatea afacerii. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Digital Transformation Roadmap va găsi aici execuția tactică necesară pentru a trece de la viziune la realitatea operațională, învățând cum să gestioneze ciclul de viață al lansărilor și cum să evite „păcatele datelor” din trecut.

Cartea nu ignoră componenta umană, dedicând spațiu generos culturii IT și dezvoltării talentului digital. Este un ghid complet care acoperă totul, de la pilotarea tehnologiilor emergente până la optimizarea ROI-ului, oferind un cadru sistematic pentru a deveni o organizație cu adevărat data-driven.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“The most important work for today’s CIO is to bring digital capabilities to the enterprise. From Agile to DevOps to Big Data, Sacolick breaks the daunting concept of ‘digital’ into manageable pieces and offers a pragmatic guide toward transformation."— Martha Heller, author of Be the Business: CIOs in the New Era of IT

“If you and your IT leadership team are struggling with where to begin on your digital transformation journey, Isaac Sacolick’s Driving Digital is a good place to start. With Isaac’s years of experience of being an IT practitioner and now an industry expert, I believe you will find Driving Digital a must-have handbook for your journey.” — Ramón F. Baez, former HP Global CIO

“Sacolick is a well-respected technology leader known for business acumen, innovation, and mastery of social media. His excellent book, Driving Digital, is valuable reading for CTOs, CIOs, and heads of Product. He teaches digital transformation, agile product development, and product strategy in this coherent and practical guide.” — Rajiv Pant, technology executive, currently CTO and Chief Product Officer at The Wall Street Journal and former CTO of The New York Times

“The battleground for business transformation has never been as well-defined as it is today, nor have the stakes been higher. Most literature on the topic gets mired down in ‘technology’ or stays so far above the fray that it’s ‘mom and apple pie.’ Isaac’s approach is practical and tactical with real-life lessons that can supplement any executive’s playbook with a highly positive impact for business.”— Anthony Juliano, CTO, General Partner, Landmark Ventures

"I hired Isaac at two different businesses to be a transformational CIO and deliver new products. Driving Digital captures his best practices in product development, agile management, and innovation that were instrumental to our business and cultural turnaround”— Keith Fox, Phaidon CEO, former President of McGraw Hill Construction and BusinessWeek

“A great read that is very relevant to CIOs and CTOs. Sacolick is spot-on with identifying the key issues in transformation and with digital disruption. This is a must read for any business-minded CIO and anyone driving transformative capabilities.”— Bart Stanco, Executive Partner, Gartner
