Synopsis

The pressure to "be digital" has never been greater.

The digital revolution is here. It's changing how work gets done, how industries are structured, and how people from all walks of life work, behave and relate to each other. To thrive in a world driven by data and powered by algorithms, we must learn to see, think, and act in new ways. We need to develop a digital mindset.

But what does that mean? Some fear it means that in the near future we will all need to become technologists who master the intricacies of coding, algorithms, AI, machine learning, robotics, and who knows what's next.

This book introduces three approaches—Collaboration, Computation, Change—that you need for a digital mindset, and the perspectives and actions within each approach that will enable you to develop digital skills you need. With the digital mindset, you can ask the right questions, make smart decisions and appreciate new possibilities for a digital future. Leaders who adopt these approaches will be able to develop their organization's talent to prepare their company for successful and continued digital transformation.

The surprising and welcome secret is that developing a digital mindset isn't as hard as we think. Most people can become digitally savvy if they follow the "30% rule," or the minimum threshold that gives us just enough digital literacy to understand and take advantage of the digital fabric woven into our world.

This is an excellent introduction to recent developments in digital technology, including algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, plus a simple introduction to data and analytics.

This book is interesting and necessary for everyone since we cannot live without technology now. It is a requirement for any organization to be digital now to survive.

Goodreads review by Evalyn on November 06, 2023

I liked chapter 7, continual learning is quite vital in our modern days and I did like the presentation of examples and implementation considerations. The rest, however, felt like a lot of fluff and buzz words. Gave me the impression the authors had a contractual obligation to drop "digital mindset"......more
