Review Quotes:
"Dr Dennis Khoo and Jung Kiu Choi have created a new holistic approach, The allDigitalFuture Playbook or taP, to solve some of the most difficult issues facing companies tackling complex digital transformation initiatives. The playbook takes a very practical approach by sequencing the many tasks that need to be completed, understanding the complex interactions, making the necessary prioritization and trade-offs, etc. By using the taP framework, the business and technology teams solve business problems and build digital products together. This ultimately ensures the best outcome for the customers. taP fills a much- needed gap that will be widely welcomed by senior executives across many industries." Eduard Fabian, CIO Asia-Pacific, Chubb.
"I have had the privilege to know both Dennis and Jung Kiu for more than 3+ decades between them. This Playbook is the culmination of their career-long insights in leading digital transformation. Many have attempted to integrate business, consumer, technology and leadership but only Dennis and Jung Kiu have succeeded in bringing them together in a comprehensive yet simple way. I highly recommend this to be the go-to resource if you are contemplating or are engaged in digital transformation!" Tsun Yan Hsieh, Founder LinHart Group, Former Senior Partner at McKinsey.
"The allDigitalFuture Playbook (taP) is written for senior executives of large enterprises who wish to understand and learn how to drive successful digital transformation. I bought it because it is written by Jung Kiu and Dennis, 2 highly accomplished digital transformation leaders in BFSI. I want to find out how they are influencing decision-makers in the industry. It has given me much food for thought for my own business, despite me not being the "right audience". If you are working for a bank or an insurance company or a fund house, and are responsible for digital transformation, or just any business owner working in the digital space, this playbook will change the way you see things." Shin Wee Chuang, Co-Founder at Pand.ai
"Almost every company is attempting digital transformation in some form or another. The allDigitalFuture Playbook (taP) suggests successful solutions which top management can immediately execute. If you follow the step-by-step guide in the playbook and execute them one by one, your company would be transformed into a new company by the time you arrive at the last page of the book. There are many books out there related to digital transformation. But I have not seen any book which facilitates execution by focusing on the core, with simplicity and clarity. I have tried new actions right after meeting Mr. Choi during the last 30 years as I get insights and game plans inspired by him. Mr. Choi together with Dr Khoo put these unique capabilities and talents fully into taP." Youngcheol Kang, Visiting Professor, KDI School of Public Policy and Management. Former President, Strategic Management Office, Pulmuone
"Industries need a holistic approach to incumbent company transformations as too often they emulate startups that have few existing people, processes and technology to consider. Although many pundits are prescribing a holistic approach, no such holistic approach is available today. This makes the work of Dr Dennis Khoo and Jung Kiu, Choi unique. It's a rigorous, considered and structured approach to transformation, and I would argue that with such large amounts of money being spent on transformation to the tune of US$2B, together with the unrelenting disruption caused by technological, environmental and competitive forces, discipline and rigour are as important to success as being innovative. taP lives up to this challenge by focusing on both and opening the door to a new holistic approach that allows for both creativity and discipline, an approach that fills a large gap in the market today."
