The pace of technological change is accelerating, hyper competition
is growing, opportunities for business model disruption are
exploding, and comprehensive cloud delivery is readily available.
These factors challenge every aspect of business technology
strategy. The Innovator's Imperative: Rapid Technology Adoption for
Digital Transformation prepares twenty-first century businesses
leaders for competing and leading in this disruptive digital
environment. Five years of research conducted by the authors
suggests that leading companies have all but abandoned the
requirements analysis and modeling best practices of the twentieth
century. Accordingly, the authors put forth the innovator's
imperative that contends: All companies wanting to be competitive
should adopt emerging and disruptive technologies as quickly as
possible, and in many cases, immediately. Technology is driving
business strategy, and companies are rethinking their technology
strategy, especially the governance that determines how and why
technology investments are made. Based on their research the
authors have developed a five-step framework for digital
transformation: Model and simulate Identify high-leverage
opportunities Prioritize transformational targets Identify digital
opportunities Find courageous leaders The book explains each of
these steps to guide business leaders in architecting digital
transformation projects according to their organization's market
positions, budgets, objectives, and corporate culture.
Hyper-competitive, disruptive companies are jumping across
technology adoption phases without regard to any phasing
whatsoever. Companies focused on digital transformation often adopt
emerging technologies immediately. They have become early adopters
of technologies that can impact existing-and create whole
new-business models and processes. This book examines this jump
into new technologies, processes, and business models to prepare
twenty-first century business leaders to make that leap.
