If you were about to get on a boat or an airplane, and someone told you there was a 70% chance your journey was going to turn out very, very badly, would you still embark?  Probably not. But despite launching with optimism and hope, about 70% of all digital transformation initiatives fail. Why? In our […]

One year ago, we published Transforming While Performing: How To Create A Culture Of Innovation With Partners. Little did I realize that one year after its arrival, the book would be even more relevant than it was 12 months ago.

Over the past two years, when I’ve asked business, digital and IT executives what critical skill or talent they most sorely lack, I’ve gotten an unexpected response: It’s what several called “chunkers.” Not only has the pandemic increased the need for chunkers; it also requires a different set of perspectives and skills from these individuals, […]

A few weeks ago, I hosted an event in New York City in which clients were asked to discuss their digital journeys so far. Some shared their wins: A retail client proudly described how, in its efforts to implement an omnichannel experience, it changed every process of a business lifecycle across an entire division.

According to industry estimates, roughly 80% of digital initiatives ultimately fail. The reasons for these failures-to-launch abound: a risk-fearing culture, the paralysis of shifting regulations, the bog of legacy systems, and the list goes on. Nothing, however, will kill a digital transformation effort more assuredly than the failure to define a purpose. Simply put, without […]

At last year’s annual gathering of the World Economic Forum in Davos, there was a palpable sense of shock and disbelief at recent events in the UK (Brexit) and the U.S. (Donald Trump’s election as President).  A discomforting wave of disruption greeted every Davos man/woman, which few had seen coming.   At this year’s conference, […]
