It is becoming more and more evident that business professionals need to collaborate better with IT colleagues and vice versa. There is simply no other way to drive successful digital transformations.
So mutual understanding of each other’s work is crucial here. While these days we have quite many online trainings and webinars on technology skills, business understanding for IT professionals is less covered, in my opinion.
When I get asked by technology gurus who want to better understand business, I always recommend this book - “Value Drivers” by Mark C. Scott. Even though it doesn’t read like an easy ‘novel’, it provides a great holistic view how to look at business from end2end perspective.
Any other book recommendations from others?

This weekend I was cleaning up my cupboards and look what I found - TomTom thingies. This made me wonder how is this company doing these days?
After a bit of research I understood that TomTom went through a very impressive digital transformation. They turned from a B2C company selling navigation devices to a B2B data-driven enterprise empowering the future of self-driving cars.
These days TomTom lives and breathes big data by collecting 19 trillion anonymous data points in total! This data is being used to solve mobility issues, manage traffic real-time and empower e-vehicles of the future.
Truly impressive and inspiring digital transformation by TomTom.
Digital transformation heat wave is high these days and it doesn’t seem to go away any time soon! But still so many of those digital initiatives start with huge enthusiasm, yet end up with disappointment.
So what can we learn to increase success rates of digital transformations in business organizations? This time I thought to take a look at LEAN thinking and see what inspiration we could take from there.

I am not sure you have noticed, there is a pattern here. Every Sunday evening I publish a new blog post. Typically it is an article related to personal growth and it comes from my personal blog.
So although, likely many of you are perceiving me as a blogger, actually most of my time goes somewhere else. It's about working as a digital transformation consultant at a very cool technology company called Schuberg Philis.
Every day at my job I am confronted with a question - how can companies extract more business value from digital transformation?
Combining my previous business experience with my recent kmowledge upgrade in the digital technology area, I wrote an article which precisely attempts to answer that challenging question.
What are your experiences? How does your organization ensure to reap the benefits of digital initiatives?
