The pressure to "be digital" has never been greater.

The digital revolution is here. It's changing how work gets done, how industries are structured, and how people from all walks of life work, behave and relate to each other. To thrive in a world driven by data and powered by algorithms, we must learn to see, think, and act in new ways. We need to develop a digital mindset.
But what does that mean? Some fear it means that in the near future we will all need to become technologists who master the intricacies of coding, algorithms, AI, machine learning, robotics, and who knows what's next.

This book introduces three approaches—Collaboration, Computation, Change—that you need for a digital mindset, and the perspectives and actions within each approach that will enable you to develop digital skills you need. With the digital mindset, you can ask the right questions, make smart decisions and appreciate new possibilities for a digital future. Leaders who adopt these approaches will be able to develop their organization's talent to prepare their company for successful and continued digital transformation.

The surprising and welcome secret is that developing a digital mindset isn't as hard as we think. Most people can become digitally savvy if they follow the "30% rule," or the minimum threshold that gives us just enough digital literacy to understand and take advantage of the digital fabric woven into our world.

      Leaders flummoxed by technological disruption should focus on developing a digital mindset rather than a technical skillset, according to this savvy primer. Harvard Business School professor Neeley (Remote Work Revolution) and technology management professor Leonardi (Technology Choices) write that while some leaders may feel as though the many digital hurdles are too great, all they really need is “the courage to be humble, admit... what you don’t know, and set out on the path to learning it.” The competencies they call for are based on research on hundreds of “technology-enabled organizations,” and readers will leave with a solid understanding of what artificial intelligence is, the difference between machine learning and deep learning, and how to cultivate a digital presence, communicate effectively even remotely, and get a grip on cybersecurity. The authors argue that developing a digital mindset means knowing where data came from and what questions to ask of it, and their practical focus on getting leaders comfortable with learning should pay dividends. This comprehensive, plainspoken guide will be a godsend to leaders trying to tell a blockchain from a bitmap.
