Jerk
Digital Transformation isn't consultant gibberish, rather, it is a historic social and economic dislocation exactly like the Industrial Revolution, or the Agricultural Revolution. Recently, Uber, Airbnb, Lyft and Waze are examples of a whole generation of new companies taking the world by storm. Using data, analytics and the sharing economy they come out of nowhere to take over industries once dominated by huge companies. How do they cause such disruption? How do they take their new business models and jerk entire industries in a year or two? In "Jerk: The Digital Transformation Cookbook" award-winning author Christopher Surdak explains how these companies do what they do, why they are successful, and why their rise to dominance may be inevitable. According to global Big Data expert Douglas Laney of Gartner, "Chris Surdak takes the reader on a wild ride through space and time to encapsulate our information-driven economy, and how a special class of people and organizations - 'Jerks' - are poised to capitalize best on this phenomenon."

When the term “big data” first came on the scene, bestselling author Tom Davenport (Competing on Analytics, Analytics at Work) thought it was just another example of technology hype. But his research in the years that followed changed his mind. Now, in clear, conversational language, Davenport explains what big data means—and why everyone in business needs to know about it.
