The Digital Leader
  • Manoj Singh
    former COO, Deloitte Global

    “Leaders increasingly understand that it is how employees leverage technology that will drive outcomes that are enduring and self-correcting, not just transitory. This discourse on digital leadership is the best I have seen on creating lasting value and outcomes within enterprises by looking at things through a business lens. It’s about leveraging existing systems, data and applications through an accelerated, collaborative and bite-sized process to drive change.”

  • Jacques Albert Nasser,
    former CEO of Ford Motor Company

    “Ram Charan is one of the world’s most influential consultants who brings deep business insight and understanding of digital business leadership. Together Raj and Ram explain the benefits and pitfalls of various approaches and why standing still means failure. This book explains how leaders must think, operate with agility, develop deeper customer relationships, and appropriately use technology.”

  • Dennis Carey
    Vice Chairman, Korn Ferry

    “This book is a game changer—no longer will business leaders view the IT department as disconnected from digital imperatives. Data ultimately should determine the direction of business strategy, capital allocation, and how to assess competitive threats and opportunities. Raj and Ram present the business case for driving digital solutions through leadership and innovative IT platforms which keep the plane afloat while installing a new digital engine.”

  • Fred Hassan, Director of Warburg Pincus

    “Ram is among the world’s top business thinkers. Many of the world’s best CEOs have benefitted from Ram’s wisdom. As we enter this era of lurching change, please read Ram’s insights on leading through inflation to reinvent your own approach to this contemporary challenge.”

  • Kirkus Reviews

    "Over the course of this book, readers will find that it is not written for academic economists but for business leaders looking to weather a gathering storm and become stronger in its aftermath. For those who may be looking for a quick primer on a prohibitively difficult subject, one could hardly do better than this one.

The Digital Leader

"Making your company digital doesn’t have to be a “big bang” that upends the entire organization at once or is a never-ending cash drain. It is now faster, cheaper, and easier than ever. It can be implemented in small pieces, each of which delivers measurable results that in turn can fund follow-up projects that are easily linked together..."
