Many interesting ideas but a very shallow overview of the end to end (but really never ending) process of achieving a data driven business transformation. The oft quoted phrase "perfection is a disease" throughout the book seems to have applied to the proof reading as there are many typos and incoherent sentences. Chapter 7 was the worst to the point I was fighting the urge to just abandon the book.

Very very basic stuff with no real meat

Good theoretical approach but a little too vague to be pragmatic. Can be good for understanding the digital transformation phenomenon and the breadth of its application and to start considering a data strategy at CIO / CTO level, but requires further reading for starting to model a methodology.
