Long time readers of Social, Agile, and Transformation know that I’ve recommended going on vacations to help clear the mind and having fun as a key tenet of your organization’s culture. So before I sign off for some end-of-summer time off, I’d like to update you on the latest news around my book, Driving Digital: The Leader’s Guide to Business Transformation Through Technology.
- A New Practical Guide To A Successful Digital Transformation by Gil Press on Forbes.com. Thanks Gil for some memorable quotes –
“Driving Digital: The Leader’s Guide to Business Transformation through Technology by Isaac Sacolick is a timely, engaging, and practical roadmap to developing and implementing digital strategies. It shows how to make the culture of the organization more digital-friendly, generate growth through new digital channels, create digitally immersive and rewarding experiences for customers, develop new competitive advantages, and drive new operational efficiencies.”- Gil Press
He goes on to say
“Sacolick’s book is a must-read for the business and technology executives managing the digital transformation of their organizations, whether they are CEOs, Chief Digital Officers, Chief Information Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Chief Marketing Officers or any manager, at any level, seeking guidance as to which digital tools and practices to deploy and how.”- Gil Press
- Driving Digital: The Leader’s Guide to Business Transformation by Steve Rovniak is a Q&A on the Heller Search Associate’s blog
“Digital transformation impacts the entire organization. Technology and marketing teams need to operate as a collaborative digital organization driving leads to new products. Sales teams have to develop broader relationships and be well versed in how technologies embedded in products and services operate. Financial teams have to be more data driven to provide more frequent insights on how the business is functioning.
We’re moving to a smarter and faster world. Those that are too slow transforming will be left way behind.”- Isaac Sacolick
- What is devops? Transforming software development is my article on InfoWorld with a snippet from my chapter on Technical Foundations for Transformation covering agile operations, DevOps, and digital technology platforms
“When there is a shared understanding and a better alignment on priorities and process between the development and operations team, a more customer-centric devops culture emerges.”- Isaac Sacolick
- Book Review: Isaac Sacolick’s ‘Driving Digital’ by Peter Krasilovsky on the localonliner
“The book is compellingly written, giving fresh insight into the role of technology officers.”- Peter Krasilovsky
- Why Digital Transformation is my article on Medium speaks to why we need businesses with long histories of integrity to drive digital transformation
“Startups can challenge these businesses and some will disrupt them, but many long standing businesses can’t easily be replaced. These businesses have to modernize their customer experiences, leverage automation to improve quality and lower costs, and experiment with new business models. To accomplish this, these companies have to learn and borrow techniques developed at software companies”– Isaac Sacolick
