Jacques Nasser AC "Raj Vattikuti and Ram Charan have seen what so many others have missed- that real digital transformation starts and ends with the business. The central lessons of their book are what every leader needs to hear: Give digital ownership to the business. Take an agile, iterative approach to investment. Design an innovation process based on experimentation. Push for speed and build digital products in weeks, not years. Shift the culture to empower employees, collaborate across silos, and focus on outcomes. This is how digital transformation delivers lasting growth. If you are leading a legacy business today, you cannot afford anything less!" David L. Rogers, global bestselling author of "The Digital Transformation Playbook"
