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.

David Marsh touched the console. The station poured itself into his veins. He used a power he doesn't understand to stop the thing hunting him, and it should have been a victory. It was a down payment. The alien interface is rewriting his biology from the inside, and the station is reconfiguring around him for a purpose he refuses to accept. Unit Seven — the drone he thought he killed — has crawled out of the wreckage on chemical batteries and a grudge. And Jane, shattered by the fight that nearly killed them both, can no longer walk or fight. She can only think. What she's thinking ...

The Data-Driven Executive is a field guide for that wall. It is written for senior data and analytics professionals - ...
