TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES MUCH MORE THAN TECHNOLOGY
DIGITAL. BUSINESS. MANAGEMENT
G
iven the rate of change that we have experienced and will continue to see in the world, it’s a challenge trying to stay on top of everything. Organizations must consider revising and possibly scrapping decades-old habits, processes, and their very ways of thinking and operating. In so doing, organizations can literally reinvent themselves.
Transformation requires much more than simply obtaining the latest technology, plugging it in, and sitting back to watch reinvention take place. From top to bottom, organizations will be compelled to change entire mindsets, attitudes, and assumptions about how they operate, how they can grow, and even the very reason for their existence.
This book introduces readers to ideas, concepts, and a comprehensive framework (LIFTS — learn, investigate, formulate, take off, and study) that they can use to better position themselves and their organizations to reap the greatest number of benefits that business and digital transformation can afford. It’s a journey rich with promise that explains complex concepts in an understandable common language.

ABOUT

The outputs of our efforts are designed to lift individuals and organizations to their next chapters by connecting seemingly unconnected dots.
The Crane in the NextChapter represents vigilance, longevity, and good fortune. In Japan, the crane is a mystical creatures symbolizing good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years. Seeing a crane is still believed to be very auspicious and paper cranes and gifts having crane motifs are often handed out for eternal blessings and good wishes.
In Native American traditions, cranes were renowned for the oratory of their trumpeting calls and were the ‘Speakers for the Clans’. In Navajo Arizona, the Ziltahjini Peak is named after standing cranes. Native Americans worship cranes and call upon them for longevity, wisdom, and immortality. The birds are Native American symbols of independence.

Everything Connects. Making connections between disparate things is the key to creative thinking. The ritualistic practice of thinking about how different things relate to each other, and how distinct things could be combined to make something completely different, results in sustainable innovation.
“When we recognize the constellation of relationships within our ecosystem we can begin to understand their shared alignment, a process that I describe as convergence – the overlapping nature of art, science, and spirituality.” – Faisal Hoque, Founder of NextChapter
