The Heart Of Transformation

This course summarizes the book The Heart of Transformation (2021) by Michael J Leckie.

The Heart of Transformation (2021) is a how-to guide for changing an organization. It focuses on six specific capabilities that leaders can adopt to meet the demands of the twenty-first century.

Technology – primarily digital technology – has changed the way we do business. Many of the old rules of the game no longer apply. Unfortunately, most organizations are still abiding by them, too stubborn or shortsighted to change direction.

Just consider General Electric.

For over a century, it was a stalwart of the economy – a titan of American industry that seemed untouchable. Then, in a few short years, it was shaken to its core and needed to be rebuilt from the bottom up.

The case of General Electric illustrates just how fickle the modern economy can be. But this Blink to Michael Leckie’s The Heart of Transformation is here to help.

We’ll explore how organizations can use six transformative capabilities to build resilience in the fast-paced and unpredictable nature of this new era. You’ll also learn how to incorporate these actions into your company through a series of questions that pertain to each capability.

1) Explore Before Executing

2) Learn Before Knowing

4) Find Before Following
