Rarely do you find a book which is as relevant for the new intern as it is for the CEO. Nitin has managed to string his years of experience working at the intersection of technology and strategy to craft a framework which is equally relevant for a CEO who is wrestling with a long term business plan or a new intern who is creating a roadmap for a 30 yr career.

This is a practitioner's book. With the advent of digital technologies, traditional non-tech enterprises in particular, struggle on where and how to begin their digital journey. Nitin with his hands on experience and deep understanding of organizational dynamics has created this comprehensive handbook precisely to address this need. The book is very well structured and makes accessing specific topics of interest relatively easy. The focus, rightly so, is on leveraging new digital technologies rather than on technology itself. It very well addresses the softer and behavioral issues related to change management. A very timely book.

In very lucid style, Nitin Seth shares the key elements of success in any Digital Transformation effort. He explains very clearly why this amounts to a fundamental and multi-dimensional organizational transformation rather than a mere technology initiative. His insights are distilled from a wealth of personal experience spanning over 20 years in multiple organizations with roles encompassing consultancy, entrepreneurship, Knowledge Management, Investment Management, eCommerce and culminating in his work at Indeco handholding end-to-end digital transformation initiatives across multiple companies and sectors. The sheer range of his experience accounts for the multi-faceted depth of his understanding of the interplay between organizational dynamics, new and emerging technologies and a fast-changing external business ecosystem. By laying out 7 key building blocks for successful digital transformation, Nitin has very elegantly and eloquently laid out an easy path to accomplish a complex task. A must read for anyone driving or even contemplating digital transformation.

I have known Nitin as an inspirational leader, mentor, business partner and close friend for over three decades. Nitin’s ability to break down the most critical issues into manageable frameworks and executable steps is legendary, whether as an advisor or operator.Corporate America is littered with carcasses of erstwhile great companies that were laid waste by their inability to master the complexity and multi-dimensional nature of change required due to the new challenges posed by the Digital Age.
Nitin’s timely book brings immense clarity by breaking down the problem into core seven building blocks and demystifies the challenges. Nitin’s execution framework, encapsulated as the two-speed strategy to achieve near term wins that power holistic fundamental change, provides a how-to roadmap to success. Under his leadership, Incedo is an embodiment of making digital transformation practical, low risk and lasting for clients of the firm.
This book is equally a reference guide for practitioners and operators leading the Digital transformation, as it is for boards and investors who are vested in its success. The holistic nature of Nitin’s work, threads through business models, change management, and customer centricity, emphasizing the human over the technology, and why leadership is even more critical in the current world than ever before!

The digital revolution is no different.Winning in the Digital Age is a timely book that captures insights obtained working with a wide range of businesses.

Drawn from Nitin Seth’s personal experience, the book includes practical examples of how value creation continues to change in a knowledge-based world. It provides a practitioner’s view of digital transformation and makes the connection to the foundational belief that it will create value for customers, consumers, employees, and society.
There are many insights into personal leadership which is often underappreciated in the context of business strategy. Personal leadership is crucial to anyone in a business setting and in life. This book covers key leadership concepts which are inextricably linked to success.
