Digital Transformation: Survive and Thrive in a Era of Mass Extinction

by Fred Fuld III

Whether you are an investor or you manage a business, you need to read the book Digital Transformation: Survive and Thrive in a Era of Mass Extinction by Thomas M. Siebel.

In case you are not familiar with Siebel, he is the founder and CEO of the artificial intelligence software company C3. He was named Glassdoor Top CEO last year and is a three-time recipient of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Siebel discusses in detail, but in easy to understand language, the digital transformation that is taking place in the business world.

He covers four major areas of technology, why they are important, and how they should be incorporated in businesses. The flexibility of elastic cloud computing, along with hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud is discussed. He also describes why all big data must be used with real time deductions that can be put into place.

Siebel covers the Internet of Things and how important it is to make all devices a computer. Finally, he talks about incorporating natural language processing, deep learning, and supervised learning in artificial intelligence.

Time is of the essence with digital technology. If you want to get on the bandwagon, get Digital Transformation. I highly recommend it.
