“Killing the Cost Center” Promises to Guide Midsize Enterprises through Digital Transformation
Launching April 22, Saggezza VP of Technology Chris Steele releases book on eliminating digital debt and driving innovation in the mid-market
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In recent years, technology has advanced to such a high degree that mid-market companies are reaching a tipping point: invest in digital transformation or get left in the dust. In his forthcoming book, “Killing the Cost Center,” Saggezza’s Chris Steele shows us that any company, regardless of industry, can become the next digital transformation success story by following his blueprint.
Written for technology and business executives at companies and private equity firms, “Killing the Cost Center” is an all-encompassing guide to scaling EBITDA through digital transformation and the removal of digital debt – the killer of midsize enterprises and former market darlings.
“A mid-market company that avoids digital transformation does so at their own peril, and this book shows why,” Steele said. “It’s all too common for mid-market CIOs and CMOs to be stuck between a rock and a hard place, with the need to innovate their business but having the pressures and budgets of operational continuity forcing them to make tough decisions. However, not investing in innovation can destroy a business and can also kill merger and acquisition (M&A) plans.”
In this guide, Chris Steele explains how to understand the issues, how to form and execute a transformation plan, and how to sustain your newly-found business agility. Readers will also learn that digital transformation success comes from taking a complete look at the business with a common goal of increasing innovation and technology, while controlling risk by modernizing legacy processes.
“Killing The Cost Center” is available for pre-order through Amazon and will be available on Monday, April 22.
