Pratt’s experience as a Chief Information Officer and his Ph.D.-level academic background in psychology, this book shows how human behavior influences...

In Welcome to the Machine, digital transformation expert Eric Kimberling pulls back the curtain on the trillion-dollar ecosystem of technology vendors, system integrators, and analyst firms that profits enormously — and systematically — from your organization's failure. He calls it the ...
