Leading Digital
Autor George Westerman, Didier Bonnet, Andrew McAfeeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2014
Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Leading Digital reușește să ancoreze conceptul de transformare digitală în realitatea companiilor de mari dimensiuni. Abordarea diferă de Digital Transformation Playbook prin faptul că este mai puțin axată pe redefinirea gândirii strategice abstracte și mai mult pe aplicabilitatea imediată în organizații cu structuri complexe. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe succesul fulminant al companiilor din Silicon Valley, autorii George Westerman, Didier Bonnet și Andrew McAfee analizează economia reală: acele 90 de procente formate din industrii tradiționale, de la producție la farmaceutice.
Merită menționat că volumul se bazează pe un studiu riguros efectuat asupra a peste 400 de firme globale, oferind exemple concrete de la giganți precum Nike sau Burberry. Notăm cu interes structura bipartită a cărții: prima parte identifică unde trebuie direcționate investițiile digitale, iar a doua parte explică modul în care trebuie condusă efectiv schimbarea. Față de Digital Business Transformation, care explorează sustenabilitatea avantajului competitiv, Leading Digital oferă un „playbook” operațional, un set de reguli tactice pentru guvernanță și viziune.
Poziționăm această lucrare ca o evoluție firească a temelor explorate anterior de George Westerman în Real Business of IT. Dacă în acea lucrare autorul demonta mitul tehnologiei ca simplu centru de cost, în Leading Digital el demonstrează cum tehnologia devine motorul principal de profitabilitate. Ritmul textului este unul pragmatic, eliminând jargonul inutil în favoarea unor direcții clare pentru îmbunătățirea experienței clienților și eficientizarea operațiunilor prin analiză de date și cloud computing.

Descriere
If you think the phrase “going digital” is only relevant for industries like tech, media, and entertainment—think again. In fact, mobile, analytics, social media, sensors, and cloud computing have already fundamentally changed the entire business landscape as we know it—including your industry. The problem is that most accounts of digital in business focus on Silicon Valley stars and tech start-ups. But what about the other 90-plus percent of the economy?
In Leading Digital, authors George Westerman, Didier Bonnet, and Andrew McAfee highlight how large companies in traditional industries—from finance to manufacturing to pharmaceuticals—are using digital to gain strategic advantage. They illuminate the principles and practices that lead to successful digital transformation. Based on a study of more than four hundred global firms, including Asian Paints, Burberry, Caesars Entertainment, Codelco, Lloyds Banking Group, Nike, and Pernod Ricard, the book shows what it takes to become a Digital Master. It explains successful transformation in a clear, two-part framework: where to invest in digital capabilities, and how to lead the transformation. Within these parts, you’ll learn:
• How to engage better with your customers
• How to digitally enhance operations
• How to create a digital vision
• How to govern your digital activities
The book also includes an extensive step-by-step transformation playbook for leaders to follow.
Leading Digital is the must-have guide to help your organization survive and thrive in the new, digitally powered, global economy.
