In this book, Saldanha lays out a five-stage process for moving from digitally automating processes here and there to making digital technology the very backbone of your company. For each of these five stages, Saldanha describes two associated disciplines vital to the success of that stage.

We live in an extraordinary time.

These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

But natural selection has given us a suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning. Beneath all our inventions - our tools, farms, machines, cities, nations - we carry with us innate proclivities to make a good society.

Most historians study the smallest slivers of time, emphasizing specific dates, individuals, and documents. But what would it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day - and even into the remote future? How would looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, the earth, and our very existence? These were the questions David Christian set out to answer when he created the field of "Big History", the most exciting new approach to understanding where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.

We are taught that getting ahead means doing everything that's thrown at us (and then some) with razor-sharp focus and iron discipline; that success depends on our drive and talents.

Publisher's Summary
From visionary Silicon Valley entrepreneur Tom Siebel comes a penetrating examination of the new technologies that are disrupting business and government - and how organizations can harness them to transform into digital enterprises.
The confluence of four technologies - elastic cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things - writes Siebel, is fundamentally changing how business and government will operate in the 21st century.
Siebel masterfully guides listeners through a fascinating discussion of the game-changing technologies driving digital transformation and provides a roadmap to seize them as a strategic opportunity. He shows how leading enterprises such as Enel, 3M, Royal Dutch Shell, the US Department of Defense, and others are applying AI and IoT with stunning results.
Digital Transformation is the guidebook every business and government leader needs to survive and thrive in the new digital age.

The bible for your Digital Transformation projects
It's always an advantage to me when the authors read their books, and Tom Siebel effortlessly conveys all of his experience and seriousness with his reading performance.
The book was well structured, and in theory, it would allow a listener to jump to chapters of their particular interest easily. The insights provided were highly relevant to me as a manager in a software company, even though the target audience would likely be business executives and consultants.
I found myself taking many notes, as the book is full of compelling facts and relevant advice. It was nice to see that Tom Siebel shared blueprints from his own company C3.ai of how to succeed with digitial transformation projects.

An interesting historical exploration
And a pitch for digital "transformation" supposedly inevitable due to cloud computing, AI, IoT and big data. Turns out AI as used throughout the book has a specific definition much reduced from the earlier Computer Science perspective. It means cleverness in only tightly defined contexts, not general intelligence provided through an artificial platform.
It fails to explore value from any other perspective than financial, and blithely neglects social impacts. I suggest technologists have broader ethical responsibilities as well, not just "making a buck".
It also skates by Moore and Metcalfe's "laws" - failing to note that we've already reached atomic scale constraints and quantum effect limitations, and the definition of value in networked contexts is simplistic in Metcalfe's law.
Overall, an excellent example of bias at work. Concludes as an advertisement. "Look how awesome and exclusive we are... Buy our services".

From a professional in the field....
From a professional that helps clients implement or execute digital transformations, this book is nicely detailed and provides a good balance between an overview and depth.
That said the narrator couldn’t sound more boring. I had to take breaks from listening to this book and going to other material because he was utterly monotonous. Highly recommend getting a new narrator and republishing.

Good business ovetview
This book really helps you understand what role you can play and what you need to know to dive digital transformation in business.
If you're not techy I'd suggest you read chapters and 2 and then you jump to 10-12 only to go back yo the others later. And maybe read again 10-12 with a different appreciation.
The book houses interesting nuggets of the non tech important aspects you need to know yo embark on a digital transformation. Unfortunately it points out to sources to better understand the technology underpinnings (which is essential and greatly appreciated) but does not offer similar resources for the non tech aspects of DT.
The audio version is no good. The reader is very slow (fortunately you can compensate for it by speeding up) but the voice is still harsh and unclear.

Interesting listen ruined by the narrator
An interesting introduction to various elements of digital transformation from a leadership perspective. However, the author narrates at a snail's pace, pauses for too long and inspires sleep. It is the worst narration I've ever heard. This issue can be alleviated by listening at 1.75x speed, but even then his voice is still not suitable for the content.

Great book spoiled a little by competitive bias
I want to say upfront that Thomas Siebel obviously has major biases towards anything that he's ever worked on and seems to deliberately ignore certain vendors (in competition with his) that are and have been key to driving Digital Transformation.
Accept the above bias (most probably won't even notice) and you'll be rewarded with a very informative book about the key pillars of the 4th industrial revolution. The middle four chapters that go in to detail on each pillar don't really provide anything that you don't get from elsewhere in the book so I would suggest skipping them.
I would definitely recommend that people read this if they want to know more about Digital Transformation.

Soporific, dull and mostly useless
I had such high hopes I’d learn something that wasn’t freely available on the internet. A revelation or framework, an approach or deeper understanding. The narrator sounds bored with himself. If there are gems here, they’re buried beneath the dull delivery.
