How do you surf the wave of digital transformation? HR professional Abhijit Bhaduri, Chief Learning Officer at Wipro, offers a wealth of tips in his engaging new book Digital Tsunami . Everything is in perpetual beta in this world, he says, describing the rapidity of change. Bhaduri, known for his charming doodles, sketches out the beta mode and queries: “If you were an app, how often would you update yourself?” The implication is obvious: we need to constantly reskill ourselves.

With such pithy insights, the easy-to-read book grabs your attention as Bhaduri takes you on a whirlwind tour of the new world of work. From artificial intelligence to the gig economy to the millennial-dominated era, Bhaduri tackles all the transformative challenges that companies and professionals are facing today.

As he writes, Digital creates new behaviours – and new communities. Then there’s the technology. Right now, several exponential technologies are converging leading to massive change. For example, when 3D, robotics, artificial intelligence and IOT come together, they can be disruptive. This book gives you an idea of not only the behavioural changes sweeping through the workplace (more millennials, new work habits) but also the disruptive technologies and trends that drive offices today. It’s useful not just for top management and HR practioners, but for employees too, as it gives you tips on how to navigate the future office.
