The Transformation Myth

More about the book

In an era of continuous disruption, businesses must adapt swiftly to crises like COVID-19. The pandemic forced companies to transition to remote work, fix supply chain issues, and respond to fluctuating customer demands. This guide emphasizes that those who view disruption as a chance for innovation emerge stronger, while those waiting for a return to normalcy risk stagnation. The authors, experts in business and technology strategy, argue that transformation is an ongoing process rather than a one-time event, requiring constant adaptation to an unpredictable environment. Drawing on five years of research and interviews with business leaders during the pandemic, they present a framework for understanding disruption and navigating it effectively. The book outlines essential leadership traits, business principles, technological infrastructure, and organizational elements necessary for thriving amidst change, supported by real-world examples. It underscores that technology should be viewed as a means to foster critical capabilities—nimbleness, scalability, stability, and optionality—vital for surviving an uncertain future.
