When Karl-Heinz Streibich, CEO of Software AG invited me to help with his book The Digital Enterprise: The Moves and Motives of the Digital Leaders, he invoked Tom Peters and his best seller In Search of Excellence. Karl-Heinz said we need to profile innovation using a wide range of technologies across business processes in many industries and many countries.
I think we did pretty well.
Major contributions in the book come from C-level executives and thought leaders in the following chapters:
Create Smarter Products Nissan Motor Co., Ltd, Japan Echo Entertainment Group Ltd., Australia
Make Your Services Agile MAPFRE S.A., Spain DB Systel GmbH, Germany Städel Museum, Germany

This book project itself ended up as a “Digital Enterprise.” When Tom Peters wrote his classic in the 80s that inspired Karl-Heinz and countless other executives, he traveled extensively around the world to interview the subjects he profiled. In contrast, the Software AG team of editors, graphic designers, project managers, and translators who worked on this book leveraged a variety of widely available collaboration infrastructure. The interviews that appear in the book reflect hours of cross-border VoIP calls, and they were captured on a Zoom digital recorder and backed up in the Google Cloud. The graphics leveraged the Adobe Creative Suite. The book itself involved product of plenty of digital creativity and collaboration.
