NATIONAL BESTSELLER Use technology to connect systems and data to change the world for the better
In Digital Impact: The Human Element of AI-Driven Transformation, Steve Lucas, a three-time CEO, discusses how organizations can integrate and automate systems to create incredible outcomes that benefit people. Lucas explains how this becomes possible when businesses solve the ubiquitous problems of digital fragmentation and data complexity, which have become even more pressing with the rise of artificial intelligence.
Using real-world customer stories as examples and writing in non-technical language that will appeal to every reader, this book shows how organizations are succeeding in missions like providing aid after natural disasters, growing food more sustainably, and ensuring students have access to everything they need on college campuses-all powered by connected technology.
Inspiring stories explored in this book include:
- How a chocolate company is working to end child labor in the cocoa-growing process in West Africa
- How a well-known charitable organization provides aid and services for people in need
- How a credit union helps members make better financial decisions for their families
For business leaders across industries, Digital Impact serves as an essential blueprint to unleash an organization's full potential for doing good by digitally transforming its technology architectures through integration and automation.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
