Overview

Rethink your business for the digital age.

Every business begun before the Internet now faces the same challenge: how to transform to compete in a digital economy.

Globally recognized digital expert David L. Rogers argues that digital transformation is not about updating your technology but about upgrading your strategic thinking. Based on Rogers' decade of research and teaching at Columbia Business School and his consulting for businesses around the world, The Digital Transformation Playbook shows how pre-digital-era companies can reinvigorate their game plans and capture the new opportunities of the digital world.

Rogers shows why traditional businesses need to rethink their underlying assumptions in five domains of strategy — customers, competition, data, innovation, and value. He reveals how to harness customer networks, platforms, big data, rapid experimentation, and disruptive business models — and how to integrate these into your existing business and organization.

Rogers illustrates every strategy in this playbook with real-world case studies, from Google to GE, from Airbnb to the New York Times. With practical frameworks and nine step-by-step planning tools, he distills the lessons of today's greatest digital innovators and makes them usable for businesses at any stage.

Many guides offer advice for digital start-ups, but The Digital Transformation Playbook is the first complete treatment of how legacy businesses can transform to thrive in the digital age. It is an indispensable guide for executives looking to take their firms to the next stage of profitable growth.

Rogers (executive education, Columbia Business Sch., Columbia Univ.; The Network Is Your Customer) aims to address the approach management should take in retooling a business for the Internet era by dealing with the cutthroat challenges of digitization. In an age in which customers are more technologically connected than ever before, resulting in, for example, fewer people visiting shopping malls, businesses must find a way to maintain and improve on profit margins. Companies that have gone through the digital transformation experienced more sales than those of their existing brick-and-mortar outlets. Rogers's easy-to-read book commences with the five domains of digital transformation (customers, competition, data, innovation, value); case studies and methods are provided throughout. The work concludes with a self-assessment to determine an organization's readiness for change and supplies strategies to assist in the planning process. VERDICT This well-written work presents applications and techniques that would serve well company managers and students of business.—Adesh Rampat, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago
