All too often, the people managing transformation projects work excessive hours, endure repeated and humiliating delays, and end up with damaged reputations.

A personal note from Dean…
I have been a “digital slayer” my entire career.
That means I have faced major challenge after major challenge, and have always emerged victorious with my team.
Where others would run for the hills to get to safety, I stand with my team, leading them forward to “slay the digital beast.”
You know what I mean by the ‘digital beast’, don’t you?
People see digital transformation projects as complex, wild, and scary beasts, difficult to control and impossible to conquer.
“Slaying the digital beast” requires grappling with and gaining control of multi-faceted transformational projects that impact both the technical and people side of the business.
The ever-increasing pace of today’s fast-moving business environment demands that you have control of the complex variables that try to bring your project down to its proverbial knees. You must learn how to “tame the beast” so that your project is delivered successfully, without casualties along the way.
That is how you get on the fast track to becoming a “boardroom hero.”
