    practical lessons and the urgency to apply those lessons immediately.

    Books by Peter Fingar:

    Digital Transformation

    As Shawn Dubravac wrote in Digital Destiny, “Humanity is entering a new era. Beyond the mere acquisition of ever more digital devices with ever more incredible functionality, the immediate future will usher in the all-digital lifestyle and an ‘Internet of Everything.’ The transformation of our lives will be breathtaking.”

    Now comes the critical question, what are you, as a leader of your organization going to do –transform, or die a slow, painful death? While there are already thousands of pages of literature on what is happening, this is the first book that goes beyond the “what” and on to the “how” of digital transformation for extremely busy leaders. There are no cookie-cutter approaches, but each organization needs high level, strategic guidance on how to approach Digital Transformation.

    But wait, extremely busy leaders of our organizations don’t have time to digest the proliferation of literature on this vital subject. It took considerable effort to condense Digital Transformation into a powerful guide for the incredibly busy leaders of organizations.

    As Francis Bacon once wrote, “Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.” This very concise book is the one for busy executives, the Game Changers, to digest– and act on!




    Serious Games for Business: Using Gamification to Fully Engage Customers, Employees and Partners
    Using an innovative multimedia format, this book turns the inevitable alphabet soup of gamification terms into a gourmet delight with true business substance. Readers will no doubt find themselves exploring the book’s concepts through the 60+ videos, articles and lectures cited with tiny URLs and smart phone QR Codes, all of which jump off the printed page to provide further insights from recognized experts.

    In the business world, gamification has typically leveraged badges, points and leaderboards in the hopes of engaging people. This falls far short of the potential of what gamification can do for businesses. On one end of the spectrum, businesses can use game design techniques in ways that are not overtly game-like to fully engage customers, partners, and employees. When well implemented, gamification can transform a work culture by cultivating deep emotional connections, high levels of active participation, and long-term relationships that drive business value. On the other end of the spectrum, businesses can utilize strategy games, simulation games, and role-playing games as means to teach, drive operational efficiencies, and innovate.

    In this book you will explore the many aspects of using gamification in business and find case studies describing how organizations have embraced social collaboration using playful design to reap tremendous value.

    Don’t just read this book-experience it!
