The Technology Fallacy provides deep insights of more than 16,000 individuals surveyed by MIT Sloan and Deloitte measuring the challenges of digital disruption. In addition, interviews with managers at Walmart, Google, and Salesforce reveal digital disruption will be ongoing and the average worker will experience numerous waves of disruption.
Gerald, Anh, Jonathan and Garth provide organizational leaders a guide to survive the oncoming waves. However to their benefit, leaders need not concern themselves of a technology deep dive. The focus of this book is how organizations must adapt to not only embrace the power of technology, but also stay competitive. For leaders digital disruption is focused upon their employees and the impact digital transformation will make upon their organization’s workflows. Perhaps best stated, only implementing the correct digital technologies for your organization will certainly not be enough to find success.
