About the Book
Is your organization wasting millions on failed technology projects and ineffective service provider relationships?
In today's service-dominated economy, broken collaborations between businesses and their technology providers result in massive financial losses, unrealized potential, and even catastrophic failures. Drawing from over twenty years of experience and real-world case studies - from Heathrow's Terminal 5 success to Deepwater Horizon's tragic failure - BizTech Evolution introduces the concept of BizTech consultancies and a groundbreaking framework to transform critical business-technology relationships.
Discover the four guiding principles that revolutionize service delivery:
Missionaries over mercenaries: Build value-driven partnerships that prioritize client outcomes
Strategic work over just "more" work: Focus on initiatives that drive meaningful business impact
Flow over headcount: Optimize value delivery instead of simply adding resources
Community over zero-sum approach: Create sustainable ecosystems where all participants thrive
Whether you're a service provider looking to evolve into a true BizTech consultancy, a business leader in a client organization trying to maximize ROI from technology partnerships, or an internal department leader providing services in a large enterprise, this practical playbook provides actionable strategies to elevate collaboration beyond transactional engagements.
Learn how to:
- Transform your service organization into a trusted BizTech consultancy
- Build lasting partnerships that mitigate implementation risk
- Develop a shared BizTech context that accelerates delivery
- Navigate uncertainty in modern digital business environments
- Transform service relationships from cost-centers to value-creators
The future belongs to BizTech consultancies and their clients who can foster symbiotic relationships across organizational boundaries. BizTech Evolution shows you exactly how to get there.
