A New Approach for Enterprise Leaders (Featuring Frankenstein vs. the Gingerbread Man)
Coming in July 2023!
Enterprise strategist and author Mark Schwartz shows how we need to learn to think differently about relationships with customers and employees. That the ethics of digital transformation is a matter of cultivating and applying virtues rather than applying rules. Ethics is not just a matter of refraining from doing bad things. It’s a matter of building the world we want, and it’s the job of company executives.
Coming Soon: Enterprise strategist and author Mark Schwartz shows how we need to learn to think differently about relationships with customers and employees. That the ethics of digital transformation is a matter of cultivating and applying virtues rather than applying rules. Ethics is not just a matter of refraining from doing bad things. It’s a matter of building the world we want, and it’s the job of company executives.
Takes a dry and dense subject and makes it fun and applicable to today's leader.
Provides the necessary thinking to truly shift your organizations' culture to succeed in the digital age.
Defines how leaders can address the ethical dilemmas of today (like AI and privacy) in realistic, actionable terms.
Mark Schwartz is an experienced leader uniquely qualified to help enterprise leaders navigate rapid change.
Digital transformation doesn’t just raise ethical issues, it—in itself—is an ethical shift.
Business leaders today are struggling to manage conflicting imperatives, those of the emerging digital world and those of the bureaucratic world of the past. The act of digital transformation requires a deep change in the moral outlook and ethical assumptions of a business. But how do we get there?
Featuring a chapter on bullshit, a handy chart of excuses for bad behavior, and Schwartz’s typically paradoxical blend of deep insight and pasta jokes, this book guides business leaders as they struggle to adapt their bureaucratic framework of ethics to the emerging landscape of the digital world. By the end of the book, business leaders will rethink what it takes to be an ethical organization.
Mark Schwartz is an iconoclastic CIO and a playful crafter of ideas, an inveterate purveyor of lucubratory prose. He has been an IT leader in organizations small and large, public, private, and nonprofit. As the CIO of US Citizenship and Immigration Services, he provokes the federal government into adopting Agile and DevOps practices. He is pretty sure that when he was the CIO of Intrax Cultural Exchange he was the first person ever to use business intelligence and supply chain analytics to place au pairs with the right host families. Mark speaks frequently on innovation, bureaucratic implications of DevOps, and Agile processes in low-trust environments. With a computer science degree from Yale and an MBA from Wharton, Mark is either an expert on the business value of IT or just confused and much poorer.
