Technology changes quickly, but organizations change much more slowly,” says MIT Sloan Professor George Westerman, whose recent research focuses on the leadership challenge posed by digital transformation.
“The relentless march of technology is very good for companies that sell technology, and for the analysts, journalists, and consultants who sell technology advice to managers,” writes Westerman in a recent article for MIT Sloan Management Review. “But it’s not always so good for the managers themselves.”
He claims that while computing power grows exponentially (Moore’s Law), organizations do not, making digital transformation more of a leadership challenge than a technical one. Read More

Inside DeepMind's epic mission to solve science's trickiest problem
DeepMind is best known for its breakthroughs in machine learning and deep learning that have resulted in highly publicised events in which neural networks combined with algorithms have mastered computer games, beaten chess grandmasters and caused Lee Sedol, the world champion of Go – widely agreed to be the most complex game man has created – to declare: “From the beginning of the game, there was not a moment in time when I thought that I was winning.”
For Demis Hassabis,Shane Legg, and Mustafa Suleyman, the proof points offered by gameplay will define the next ten years: namely, to use data and machine learning to solve some of the hardest problems in science. Read More
