How to Become a Digital Leader
A Roadmap to Success
Before AI became a board-level mandate, digital leadership required a new strategic mindset.
How to Become a Digital Leader defined the leadership implications of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence and established a structured approach to enterprise-wide digital transformation.
The book introduced an early framework for aligning strategy, governance, and organizational readiness during periods of technological change.
Today, as AI accelerates institutional transformation, that foundation has evolved into the Executive AI Transformation Model™ and continues to inform Cathy’s advisory practice.
