Extraordinary disruption. Market transformation. New customer demands. The need for innovative products and services.
Leaders everywhere are grappling with these issues in this rapidly changing business landscape. Technology and the rise of big data and analytics have created new opportunities and new pressures for reinvention. Yet many executives fear their companies are not ready to take on the kind of digital transformation that they need to thrive—and survive.
These challenges are demanding some radical shifts in management and the way we work. Organizations must be increasingly data-driven but at the same time, leaders must ignite a culture of innovation and collaboration at every level—winning ideas can come from any part of the organization. Teams must be prepared to handle rapid shifts in their industry, customers, and competitors—a demand that is upending the old rules of financial and talent management itself. Just as technology has revolutionized our world, executives must now lead the revolution inside their organizations.
