Synopsis

As machine software develops, it becomes more and more intelligent. More capable of doing things that we humans have been used to doing, have assumed that that is our job, our role, our responsibility. As this Ai Tech age advances, so the world is being faced by a challenge: can Technology and People continue to live harmoniously together, a world where the Tech supports, enables and complements what People can do? Or will the machines take over?

Such is the pace of technology-driven change that companies around the world are scrambling to catch-up, to transform, reinvent themselves for this Digital Tech age. FinTech, InsurTech, Blockchain, Bitcoin, Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Virtual Reality, Robotics, Cyber Security, Internet of Things…there’s seems no end to what new Tech is generating and with it the substantial challenges, and opportunities, for every organisation.

This new book sets out a possible roadmap and blueprint to help companies navigate their way through these changing times. It looks at best practices and lessons learned and aims to distil that into a clear set of guidelines and working advice.

With the unprecedented speed of Technology change, there is a huge need for us to rethink how we transform organisations, engage our people and foster cultures that are future-fit. I recommend Michael’s book as it gives great perspective on how we might succeed.”

-Leena Nair, Chief HR Officer, Unilever, now Global CEO of Chanel

 

“Digital Technology transformation is now widely recognised as a significant challenge and opportunity for most every organisation. Michael’s new book provides a valuable guide and roadmap to help companies navigate these key challenges.”

-Archie Norman, Chairman, Marks and Spencer

 

“Tech transformation is an ongoing journey. Whilst many are daunted by the scale of change required to compete; in my view that change can be exciting because the benefits and added value can be so significant. Most importantly, tech transformation must be for the benefit of the customer. Organisations need to put the customer at the heart of that journey. Michael’s book makes this point – and other great points – strongly and is full of best practice examples from which we can all learn.”

-Ashok Vaswani, former UK CEO, Barclays Bank, now CEO of Kotak Mahindra Bank
