Capitalize on the power of emerging technologies to transform your enterprise, disrupt your industry, and GROW YOUR BUSINESS Digital transformation. If you're a senior leader or you sit on the board at a large or mid-sized company, you've probably heard this phrase a million times. But what does it mean? Simply put, digital transformation describes the strategic application of digital technologies to processes and practices to grow your business in a rapidly changing environment. But for many businesses, it's about survival. Companies that transform into digital enterprises are likely to thrive; companies that don't might face extinction. Despite this, it often seems as though few senior leaders or board members have the knowledge needed to grasp the importance of digital transformation, to assess the digital technologies associated with it, and most importantly, to make sound decisions about it. That's the purpose of this book: to provide these key decision-makers with this knowledge. To that end, it unveils the possibilities of digital transformation and distills the key concepts behind associated technologies. It also defines confusing tech terminology using language you can understand. And it offers advice for companies that want to digitally transform, including a strategic roadmap, leadership tips, culture concerns, workflow improvements, and security concerns.

AT LEAST 75% OF ALL MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS FAIL. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. Don Scales has been in the professional services business for more than three decades. During that time, he has been involved in more than forty M&A deals, on both the buyer and seller side. He has learned firsthand what works and what doesn't, and has long thought about writing a book to share his knowledge with others. The M&A Solution: A Values-Based Approach to Integrate Companies is the result of his realization that participants in M&A transactions often fail to focus on one important factor-corporate values. Corporate management teams have known for decades that competing values and culture clashes put more deals at risk than any other single factor. Yet, because values are hard to measure, they are often ignored when due diligence is being done. Don gives the reader the benefit of his experience and knowledge when it comes to analyzing values for fit. By using Don's methods to focus on corporate values, management teams can mitigate culture-clash risk and increase the odds of succeeding. It's that simple.

GETTING A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT SHOULDN'T BE HARDER THAN BOOKING A VACATION The US healthcare system excels in research, innovation, and clinical care, but is failing to keep up with the operational challenges of the digital age. Today's healthcare organizations face immense financial challenges, and their most valuable resources-people, rooms, and equipment-are being used inefficiently. The result? Long wait times for patients, overstressed staff, underused assets, and poor ROI for organizations. Why do health systems struggle with optimization? The fundamental problem is one of matching an unpredictable demand for services with a constrained supply. The math being used to solve this problem is a holdover from the paper-and-pencil era. In Better Healthcare Through Math, authors Mohan Giridharadas and Sanjeev Agrawal show you that there is a better way. Healthcare systems can harness the power of sophisticated, analytics-driven mathematics to optimize the matching of supply and demand. By upgrading to software systems built on better math, they can enable staff to make data-based decisions to flatten peaks of demand and create smoother patient flow.

Know Grow Exit is about living, learning, and leaving your company as an entrepreneur when your business is your identity. Cliff Oxford wrote Know Grow Exit: How Entrepreneurs Grow and Finish Fast to give entrepreneurs the full story of being a business owner, which includes the dark side, the sunny side, and the blueprinting phase of building a company from scratch to sell. Painting the picture in words, graphs, tools, and charts, Know Grow Exit has the educational glow of a shiny Harvard MBA and the growl of hard-knocks experience. While Oxford doesn't try to teach you everything about business, he does drill deep into the do-or-die hurdles you have to clear in all three phases of a business's growth, which includes hyper-growth, human and financial scaling, and-most importantly-how to stay out of no man's land between being a big operation and a small one. What Oxford writes on exiting your business has never been discussed, much less documented, especially in regard to how lawyers, accountants, and investment bankers can set entrepreneurs up to fail. Oxford also wisely shows entrepreneurs that wealth creation is tied directly to great health, charity, and a lasting legacy. This book, in its very essence, is a true story.

The trends include historic breakthroughs in treatments for heart disease and cancer; integration of behavioral health services into primary care; recognizing and acting upon the broad effect of social determinants of health; consumer empowerment focused on measures and outcomes that matter most to patients; paying for value rather than volume causing doctors and hospitals to shift to a newly aggressive proactive approach to caring for patients. Collectively, these trends are rebooting our health care system to better serve the needs of providers, payers, and, most importantly, patients.

Todos los aspectos más importantes de tu vida (tu familia, tu legado, tu comunidad, y todo lo que más valoras) contribuyen al patrimonio y la riqueza de tu vida. Juntos, conforman tu valor familiar.

Su estrategia no solo es holística, sino que también es inclusiva. En su agencia, The Lerner Group, los asesores priorizan las opiniones y las necesidades de todos los miembros de la familia, incluso de las matriarcas, que suelen ser ignoradas por asesores más tradicionales.

Desde los peligros de la asesoría tradicional hasta las conversaciones decisivas que se precisan para garantizar que tus intenciones se vean reflejadas en la planificación, este libro es una lectura obligada para todos los que estén preocupados por su futuro financiero.

Failing Opens the Door to Succeeding Too many efforts with potential game-changing outcomes are short circuited by the fear of failing; people with huge ideas become paralyzed by "what ifs," unable to see past the challenges of today. Dr. Akintoye Akindele and Olakunle Soriyan see "failure" and "failing" as two different realities and mindset. Failure is a destination, a windowless prison that does not exist unless you accept that it does. However, failing is a journey, a launchpad into new knowledge and new beginnings and the key to successful innovation and entrepreneurship. In A Love Affair with Failure, the authors aim to help emerging entrepreneurs be prepared for the inevitable challenges ahead and urge them to be resilient in pursuing their dreams, embracing the idea of failing not only as a prerequisite for achieving success, but also a victory in itself because it signifies having had the courage to take action. Drawing lessons from their own personal journey and from other sources ranging from Ancient Greece to today's best-known businesses and leaders while also revealing the incredible potential of Africa as a catalyst for entrepreneurial support and achievement, A Love Affair with Failure paints a compelling picture of a region uniquely positioned to become a global powerhouse in entrepreneurship.
