Digital transformation is everywhere
When done right, it brings impressive business outcomes. However, according to McKinsey, 70% of all digital transformation initiatives do not reach their goals.
Most leaders know that tech is essential to business but don't know what they really need to know about technology to succeed in the digital age.
Leaders don't need to learn code to succeed. Instead, they need to learn how to work with people who code. It means becoming a digital collaborator and learning how to work with developers, data scientists, user experience designers and product managers.

Remove choice
Non-digital professionals often don’t know that some problems can be solved easily by technology as they’ve never discussed them with a technologist.
The best way to learn anything quickly is to put yourself in a situation where not doing it is not an option. Set up a weekly meeting with technical specialists and your team to discuss what they’re working on and how it impacts scale, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. This conversation will lay the foundation for effective collaboration.

Learn how other people did it
There is a persistent myth of coders creating a billion-dollar company in a garage. However, there are ample examples of non-technical professionals that drive technological change.
- Non-technical founders like Katrina Lake of Stitch Fix and Brian Chesky of Airbnb have created innovations and massive shareholder value driven by technology.
- Liberal arts graduate Colin Beirne helped found Two Sigma Ventures.
- Bruce Daisley started his career selling radio advertising but helped take Twitter global as its vice president for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Understand different working styles
The biggest difference between how technical and non-technical teams work:
- Technical teams iterate and learn. They test a hypothesis rather than create a perfect end product for a customer.
- Non-technical teams focus on perfection.
This difference can create tensions and misunderstandings. Non-technical teams want to discuss and plan every feature for every possible outcome, which will frustrate technical teams, who want to “move fast and break things.”
Thinking in terms of experimentation within a time frame and budget can help in digital innovation.

Learn concepts rather than skills
You only need about 30% fluency in a handful of technical topics to develop your digital mindset.
- Learn core tech terminology. Understand the difference between acquiring digital context versus digital fluency.
- Concepts such as user-centric design, APIs, and cloud computing are often not understood by non-technical leaders. Taking a course is a great way to invest in your leadership capital.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
