Five years of research conducted by the authors suggests that leading companies have all but abandoned the requirements analysis and modeling best practices of the twentieth century. Accordingly, the authors put forth the innovator's imperative that contends:
All companies wanting to be competitive should adopt emerging and disruptive technologies as quickly as possible, and in many cases, immediately.
Technology is driving business strategy, and companies are rethinking their technology strategy, especially the governance that determines how and why technology investments are made. Based on their research the authors have developed a five-step framework for digital transformation:
Model and simulate
Identify high-leverage opportunities
Prioritize transformational targets
Identify digital opportunities
Find courageous leaders
The book explains each of these steps to guide business leaders in architecting digital transformation projects according to their organization's market positions, budgets, objectives, and corporate culture.
Hyper-competitive, disruptive companies are jumping across technology adoption phases without regard to any phasing whatsoever. Companies focused on digital transformation often adopt emerging technologies immediately. They have become early adopters of technologies that can impact existing-and create whole new-business models and processes. This book examines this jump into new technologies, processes, and business models to prepare twenty-first century business leaders to make that leap.
