Our notable contributions include the development of several financial indices such as the Convergence Index, Business Agility Index, Sustained Innovation Index, and Operational Excellence Index. These tools are designed to measure the relationship between management maturity and organizational financial performance, providing valuable insights for business leaders and researchers alike.
We have authored a number of influential books that explore the intersection of technology, leadership, and organizational transformation. Our work include “REINVENT: Navigating Business Transformation in a Hyperdigital Era,” “LIFT: Fostering the Leader in You Amid Revolutionary Global Change,” and “Everything Connects: How to Transform and Lead in the Age of Creativity, Innovation, and Sustainability.” These publications reflect our extensive research on organizational success, drawing from over a decade of studying the failures and successes of more than 2000 corporations across various sectors.
In addition to our books, we have made significant contributions to the field of leadership, innovation, and transformation through the development of the LIFTS Framework, which helps organizations integrate business and technology strategies. Our research on business-technology convergence has earned our founder Faisal Hoque the moniker “Mr. Convergence” in industry circles. We have also co-founded and lead a research think tank collaborating with leading academics globally, and our thought leadership pieces have been featured in prominent publications such as Fast Company, Business Insider, Wall Street Journal, and Forbes, further disseminating our ideas on innovation, leadership, and organizational transformation.
