Review: Norbert Waal
“What truly sets this book apart is its holistic perspective. Ron Rijkers recognizes that these three pillars – people, processes, and technology – are inextricably linked. By providing a comprehensive framework that takes these interdependencies into account, Rijkers provides his readers with an in-depth understanding of how change can be orchestrated harmoniously throughout the organization.”

Review: Bart van Leeuwen
The first sentence of this book "Since the beginning of my career, I have strived for maximum efficiency" indicates exactly what you can expect.
Change is complex and sometimes tough. The impact of change from the current digital transformation, combined with the pace at which it takes place, has not been seen before. It requires a new way of thinking and a new way of changing. A successful change strategy is the holy grail of our time.
Ron Rijkers has written a book that shows in a very insightful way how a transformation of scale can be successfully implemented. As his colleague at Movares, I have seen how the lessons from this book have been put into practice and sometimes how they were developed. This extends from the involvement of the board and management to the actual implementation in the day-to-day business. By emphasizing that the coherence of the whole (People, Process, Technology) is the key to success, Ron Rijkers knows how to protect you from pitfalls.
The linking of theoretical models to practical suggestions and the clearly visualized diagrams make this book "the" manual for a successful digital transformation strategy.
