Most leaders and organizations know that they must become "digital" but pinning down what that means, along with "how" to do that is remarkably absent in the technology marketplace. Other books that attempt to tackle this problem tend to focus on the what, and the how addresses their bias for industry or technology. The Why enables enables alignment of purpose and vision, and in this book the ability to directly apply to your organization and situation.
The Digital Transformation Workbook uses worksheets to enable readers to apply the principles and concepts from the Leader's Guide to Digital Transformation to *their* organization and situation. The result is a detailed transformation framework that specifically suits their specific needs, and appetite for change and technology, so they can plan and execute tactically to support their organization's strategic direction and vision.
A Leader's Guide to Digital Transformation has been called a must-read by industry leaders, and one result was being named a "Top 50 Global Thought Leader and Influencer on Culture". The book continues to help C-suites and boards understand the what, why and how for strategy development and resourcing. This book moves from concepts and principles into hand-on application at the action level. Having implemented these concepts across a multiple business unit enterprise, he's also developed deep knowledge through education and research, and kept fresh through coaching smaller organizations. Jack has not just "been there and done that" he's led the way and coached other leaders to do the same.

"Read this book and you'll learn how to execute change in any organization, whether it involves a hard pivot for survival or a longstanding, evolutionary program by design."
Jayne Groll, CEO of the DevOps Institute
In the end, the measure of a book like Standing on Shoulders is in how likely you’ll pick it up again, refer to it, et cetera. I originally purchased Jack and Carmen’s work electronically, but then bought a paper copy because I expect to use it.
Alan Fahrner, The Data Guy
This book hits the sweet notes at several levels. As a primer or survey of the blending of Lean, Agile and DevOps, the book is both concise and comprehensive. The authors are talented, and the material is well organized. I would recommend this both to learning team members and leadership to grasp the power and effectiveness of lean, agile and DevOps practices. Beyond that, it goes beneath the surface into the way it all works. This aspect is often overlooked and consequently not understood. This deeper understanding helps thought and action leader drive a transformation that is much more likely to take hold and persist. If you are looking for a summary that strikes a balance between breadth and depth, pick up this book, it will be well used.

"On point, well written, and an essential reference for leaders."

"I've really enjoyed your book and it has been really applicable to my federal and commercial clients so far."
Michael Snyder - DevSecOps Evangelist and Strategic Digital Transformation Monkey - Booz Allen Hamilton
A thorough, and cogent DevOps guide that will offer any technical manager everything they need to build teams that can drive innovative technology. The conversational style makes the content easy to understand, so readers can make use of the information immediately. The book is well written and sourced.
Amazon Reviewer (verified)
It is so refreshing to see a book that acknowledges the very human part of improvements. It is the only way it can be successful. People often learn the what but completely neglect that "how" we approach working with teams matters..... even lean and agile books sometimes! Thanks for including both aspects and making the vague "leadership" behaviors required explicit.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555.
