Recommendation

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. These aspects include understanding where speed really comes from, and building it into the entire organization. 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.

Take-Aways

  • In the digital age, being first wins. Speed and scale come from building a workforce that constantly learns and adapts.
  • Speed results from slowing down enough to set a strategic direction toward where the next wave of value will be. 
  • Establish a culture of experimentation, which depends on giving teams the confidence to fail and learn.
