How can your business achieve a successful digital transformation? In this book, the authors – all McKinsey consultants – offer wisdom and practical advice about what really matters for injecting speed into digital transformations.

The authors emphasize the importance of clear direction, relentless learning, enabling tech and data, and going all out for top talent. The result is a clear call to action for CEOs not to go fast, but to build speed.
