Transformation to digital is critical. However, winning in today's world necessitates more than just digitization. It is necessary to recognize that the nature of competitive advantage has shifted—and that being digital is no longer sufficient.

Beyond Digital takes readers inside twelve companies and how they have navigated this monumental shift: from Philips' reinvention from a broad conglomerate to a focused health technology player, to Cleveland Clinic's engagement with its broader ecosystem to improve and expand its leading patient care to more locations around the world, to Microsoft's overhaul of its global strategy. Adobe, Citigroup, Eli Lilly, Hitachi, Honeywell, Inditex, Komatsu, STC Pay, and Titan are among the other case studies.

The authors identify the seven imperatives that leaders must follow as the digital age evolves, based on a significant new body of research:

• Rethink your company's role in the world.
• Accept and create value through ecosystems
• Create a system of exclusive insights with your customers.
• Make your organization result-oriented.
• Invert your leadership team's focus.
• Reimagine your people's social contract.
• Disrupt your own leadership style.

These seven imperatives form a playbook for leaders on how to define a bolder purpose and transform their organizations.
