The leadership imperatives for transforming companies in the new digital era with Paul Leinwand and Mahadeva Matt Mani

Digital transformation is critical. But winning in today’s world requires more than digitization. It requires understanding that the nature of competitive advantage has shifted—and that being digital is not enough.

In Beyond Digital, world-renowned strategists Paul Leinwand and Matt Mani present the stories of twelve companies from across the world — Phillips, Hitachi, Titan, Eli Lilley, Citigroup, Adobe, Komatsu, Honeywell, Microsoft, Cleveland Clinic, Inditex, and STC Pay — that have navigated through this monumental shift.

The leaders of each company focused on shaping the future by clearly defining how they were going to create value for their customers, and transformed the organization from top to the bottom to deliver on that value proposition.

From these studies, Paul and Matt identified the seven imperatives for leaders to follow as the digital age continues to evolve:

Reimagine your company’s place in the world

Embrace and create value via ecosystems

Build a system of privileged insights with your customers

Make your organization outcome-oriented

Invert the focus of your leadership team

Reinvent the social contract with your people

Disrupt your own leadership approach

On 28 March, Matt and Paul will discuss these seven imperatives, illustrated by the case studies from their book, to explain how leaders can define a bolder purpose and transform their organizations.

Paul Leinwand is a thought leader on strategy, growth, and capability building for Strategy&, PwC’s global strategy consulting business. He writes regularly for Harvard Business Review, and his work also appears in strategy+business magazine, Forbes.com, and other publications. Mahadeva Matt Mani is an adviser to executives on organization cost and productivity transformation for Strategy& and one of the global leaders of PwC’s Fit for Growth performance platform.
