Excerpt from the best-selling book that inspired this podcast, ‘Digital Humans - Thriving in an Online World,’ by authors Paul Ashcroft & Garrick Jones - “A new digital model is emerging that significantly shifts the way change is delivered across large, global, networked groups of people. For digitally enabled organizations, transformation is about building capability internally and lining up the right digital tools to enable the people to transform the organization themselves.” Taken from the chapter, ‘Our Brave New Digital World’.
