I am writing a book on Transformation 2.0, a unique approach to business transformation developed by Anthosa Consulting.Over the last six years, we have used this approach with over 50 strategy customers who have proven its success. More than 80% of these customers have chosen us to guide them on their strategy implementation. Over 75% of these customers achieved most transformation goals, and over 60% sustained transformation gains beyond three years. This outperforms industry averages which, according to McKinsey, sit around 56% and 12% for achieving and sustaining these goals, respectively.With this book, I aim to inspire the next generation of engineers and transformation practitioners to lead a mass-scale transformation of our businesses, which are poised to be massively transformed by a trifecta of technologies in AI/ML, IoT, and Blockchain.
