I’m fascinated by the interplay between strategy, digital technology, leadership, organisational culture and sustainability. Why do some digital technology initiatives work well whilst others fail? I’m increasingly convinced that the difference between success and failure is down to the interplay between these four big topics.

The handbook is aimed primarily at business professionals looking to plan and deliver a series of digital technology projects to make their organisation more successful. My goal is to equip these practitioners with a clear, systematic and no-nonsense approach to realise their transformational journey in an incremental fashion that can flex as things change. I was determined to make the handbook accessible, maximising pragmatism and eliminating confusing technical jargon.

‘This is an extremely informative guide to Digital Transformation, detailing the key steps & approaches needed to be taken into account along this journey. The style in which it is written means that some of the typical jargon and concepts that may be difficult to understand and process are no longer "gobbledygook" - they are simplified and broken down with clear explanations, supported by some fantastic visual aids through diagrams and tables.’

‘Distils the key elements required for a successful transformation and blends the right amount of theory with practical tools. A must for anyone embarking on a (digital) transformation in any sector - as applicable to those at the very top of the change as it to those starting their change career. Thanks for putting this together, John.’

‘I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone that wants to understand how to make positive, progressive and long lasting change for their organisations. Written in a way that is accessible, interesting and informative, this book provides key guidance and case studies to start you on your journey.’

‘Brilliant book for anyone looking to understand more about successful digital transformation, and practical ways to shape culture and drive change. The book draws on examples from around the economy and globe to shape the ideas and frameworks. Great book to have the DT locker.’
