In Fast Times, a team of McKinsey consultants share the recipe they apply to help their customers be first movers and win the digital race.

“[Fast Times] is for senior executives who are frustrated by the slow pace and limited return on investment (ROI) of their digital transformations, and are unsure what’s holding them back” in the word of the authors.

While not a detailed blueprint to design a Digital Transformation initiative, they cover critical imperatives to develop a Strategy, Capabilities, Adopt and Scale, and they cleverly do it answering provocative questions like “Are you clear about the which transformation model is best for your company?” or “Have you hired digital stars?”

They provide insightful tips on Speed, Scale, Talent and Culture. A must read for leaders already embarked in a digital journey or in need of a reset.
