About

“By marrying the power of creativity and innovation, there is very little we can’t accomplish. Everything Connects shows where and how this is happening and inspires us to join in this new era.”

“REINVENT is important and relevant reading for both established and new business leaders. Faisal Hoque shows how organizations can realize the promise inherent in new technologies without making the same mistakes that have dogged large transformation efforts in the past. The importance of the book lies in the author’s ability to show readers how technology-driven change requires new mindsets and new approaches. It lays out a roadmap for how to succeed with digital transformations.”

“There is so much in this book to like, and the possibilities are far-reaching…. If you want to be this kind of new leader, or if the idea excites you for the great changes it could bring, Lift: Fostering the Leader in You Amid Revolutionary Global Change by Faisal Hoque is a must-read.”

“Our children, and their children, may one day ask about these times, ‘What were you thinking? What were you doing?’ If you are asking yourself, What can I do?’ this book is for you. Faisal Hoque gives us clarity, purpose, direction – and hope.”

“Bravo, Faisal Hoque, for going beyond leadership theory and expertly providing actionable steps for the aspiring leader.”

“In my world you either ‘learn to ski or get swept away by the avalanche.’ The avalanche in business is change – massive and coming faster and faster. As Faisal Hoque points out in REINVENT, the answer is more than adopting new digital tools – it requires changing the entire mindset of the organization to use those tools and learn how to deal with the ever changing world.”

“A digital transformation ideally changes everything a company thinks and does—but often fails to achieve this end, wasting considerable sums in the process. Faisal Hoque’s invaluable book REINVENT shows how such holistic change is especially necessary ever since the pandemic completely upended corporate assumptions about its customers and employees. Faisal Hoque warns us against viewing technology as a savior able to correct everything wrong with an organization. This is a book I will consult again and again.”

“Brilliant! Everything Connects helps connect the dots in ways you’ve never imagined. It’s full of powerful and useful ideas on how to unleash innovation in your organization.”

“Author Faisal Hoque draws from his deep knowledge and research to show how business digital transformation is not an option – it’s a requirement driven by humans to enhance both employee and customer experiences. Building on this human element, REINVENT reassures readers that through a process of shared learning, investigation, review, and managing technology and business as ‘one,’ digital transformation can continually evolve to focus on an organization’s most important priorities – and not become a static, panacea-solution doomed to fail!”

“Technology is more than a fad or a requirement of business, Faisal Hoque highlights in REINVENT, mastering technology is essential to mastering business period, and is directly related to business performance. It’s no longer possible to simply “get by”, thriving with technology is essential to thriving in business today. REINVENT is an essential guide to not only mastering technology, but to mastering business in the 21st Century.”

“Many books on digital transformation already feel dated; after all, most organizations have already made a big digitization push and have realized that their need for reinvention is ongoing. What Faisal Hoque has done with REINVENT is to acknowledge that transformation is more than digital or data; it is a wholesale cultural reinvention of the organization and its mission, along with its inner and outer relationships. What’s more, it is ongoing and iterative. Faisal’s expert guidance throughout the book is like having a trusted advisor at your side the whole way.”

“If you are a leader driving business transformation, REINVENT is a must read! Leaders who assume they understand the ramifications of technological change often focus on a select few silo issues. With REINVENT, Faisal Hoque points out that there’s so much more involved—from leadership itself to the value of understanding what the workforce of tomorrow is going to demand in the workplace. Read this book today!”

“Reinvention is a decidedly challenging undertaking. Faisal Hoque’s REINVENT offers an easy to follow, comprehensive playbook that companies and organizations can avoid the reinvention pitfalls that so many experience. Read this timely book, let it guide you and your chances of success are significantly strengthened.”

“Digital natives are often disruptors- but when it comes to traditional firms, the issue is more complex, we called it digital reinvention in our article 2017 in MIT Sloan Management Review.

Faisal Hoque not only chooses the term for his new book title, but he also eloquently helps debug one core myth about tech. That is, that tech replaces everything, from replacing intermediaries by platforms, automating workers’ tasks, to recommending what you watch on TikTok. What tech does not replace is management leadership to help augment an organization with technology, and in a way that companies become stronger, or reinvented with technologies.

The author also provides a solid framework (LIFTS) that leaders would be wise to follow to thrive in the future.”
