Typical engagement types for Digital Transformation

George Westerman | Principal Research Scientist with the MIT said: “When digital transformation is done right, it’s like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but when done wrong, all you have is a really fast caterpillar.”
John Hagel III | Co-Chairman at Deloitte LLP Centre for the Edge leaders, he says “Most of the executives I talk to are still very much focused on digital largely as a way to do “more of the same,” just more efficiently, quickly, cost-effectively. But I don’t see a lot of evidence of fundamentally stepping back and rethinking, at a basic level, ‘What business are we really in?’”
