Rethinking, reimagining and transforming organizational governance, leadership and management to maximize value in the ever-evolving digital age.

 

Digital Transformation – A Definition

Digital transformation is an ever-evolving digitally-driven and enabled journey of exploration and experimentation. It represents a cultural and mindset change which involves continually challenging all aspects of the status quo. It requires reimagining and fundamentally transforming government, business and society in a way that is inclusive of and creates value for all stakeholders.

 

 

My passion revolves around helping the public and private sector, society and individuals realize and sustain value from the transformational change that digital technology increasingly both enables and requires. Author of The Information Paradox, I have over 50 years’ experience in the information technology and management field. I am an internationally recognized practitioner and thought leader in the value/benefits management space.
