Advance Praise for Beyond Digital: Beyond Digital provides a detailed, well-researched road map for companies looking to transform themselves in an era when digitization is no longer a differentiator. The authors cite examples from successful international organizations to challenge leaders to push past the defeatist sentiment 'that's how we've always done it' to achieve true transformation. -- Tom Mihaljevic, MD, CEO and President, Cleveland Clinic Many books have been written about transformation. But Beyond Digital addresses transformation for the first time from a very comprehensive and consequential perspective, addressing all the key elements. A must-read for leaders who are serious about moving away from incremental change or one-off change projects to a fundamental overhaul of the enterprise they are in charge of. -- Ingo Bank, CEO, OSRAM Licht AG This book will move your thinking into the mid-twenty-first century. The internet is over fifty years old--'digital' is yesterday. Here are seven insights about what comes next. But consider each one with care. Don't rush. A return to deeper, more complex thinking, followed by decisive, bold action is the only way to win in the postdigital world. -- Sally Blount, CEO, Catholic Charities of Chicago; Michael L. Nemmers Professor of Strategy and former Dean, Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University Businesses in today's world cannot afford to stand still. But change is a continuous journey. Beyond Digital's approach underlines the fact that it's only when organizations and leaders are prepared to truly challenge and change the way they think, act, and engage that lasting and meaningful transformation happens. -- Jean-Philippe Courtois, Executive Vice President and President, National Transformation Partnerships, Microsoft Rather than writing one more book about how technology will change our lives, Leinwand and Mani have captured a future view of the world in which business leaders must cope. The fundamentals of every industry--supply, demand, and context for success--have changed forever, and Beyond Digital clearly describes the imperatives and actions that will make tomorrow's leaders successful. -- Ray Lane, Managing Partner, former President, Oracle; Executive Chairman, Hewlett Packard Enterprise; and member of the board of directors, Beyond Meat In Beyond Digital, Leinwand and Mani bypass the buzzwords and cliches and provide a rigorous foundation for digital business transformation. They show how successful strategies are grounded in answering core questions, such as 'What is our purpose?, ' 'What unique value do we add for our customers?, ' and 'What distinct capabilities do we need to deliver on our value proposition?' A timely, insightful, and eminently useful guide for anyone leading business transformation in today's digital environment. -- Daniel Diermeier, Chancellor, Vanderbilt University Beyond Digital challenges leaders to get past the obsessively competitive race toward digitization. Instead, this book helps them transform their companies by using technology to solve the massive challenges and opportunities facing society today. -- Scott Watterson, Chairman of the Board and CEO, iFIT Health & Fitness
