REDEFINING BUSINESS ECOSYSTEMS
For three decades, changes powered by digitalization have swept across
industries throughout the world. These changes on the Digital Faultline
have reframed business paradigms and brought radical "digital
transformation" to established business ecosystems.
No enterprise is immune to these dramatic and deeply intertwined shifts.
But despite enormous leadership efforts, financial investments, and
technology implementations, 93 percent of organizations fail to adapt to
evolving customer behavior, new technologies, and disruptive competition
that threaten their growth.
Combining data from 5,000+ companies and more than two decades of
leadership experience, Sri Manchala deconstructs the underlying
transformational forces, now made worse by the COVID pandemic.
The single most important factor for success is leadership--and a
seismic shift in mindset. Manchala presents a new leadership persona for
the Digital Age--the Methodical Innovator. In Crossing the Digital
Faultline, Manchala explains the new rules governing life on the Digital
Faultline and demonstrates how a mastery of those rules powers the
success of the 7 percent.
Manchala proposes that the Methodical Innovator persona for the digital
era comes to life through constant practice and therefore anyone
determined to succeed can adapt their personality. Manchala provides an
invaluable 120-day playbook for transitioning to this new persona,
including techniques for getting teams beyond the Faultline and
providing crisis-proof leadership.
