Professional Reviews:
Engaging, insightful, brilliantly written and transformative! In her introduction Nadia speaks of having learned multiple languages through her international consulting career; In this book, she creates a whole new language for the rest of us to learn – that of digital transformation leadership. Consider this book your Rosetta Stone on how to become a true digital transformation leader. It’s an honor and a privilege to consider Nadia a friend and mentor.
—Lawrence Cooper (Larry)The Agility Series Facilitator, Digital Transformer, and Author – Canada
As someone who has practiced digital transformation projects for nearly four decades, the premise of the success formula and the problems caused by fear are so important to recognize. Nadia takes us through a roadmap to digital transformation success through the recognition of the need to treat digital transformation as a project and to apply the soft skills needed to manage change and transformation. A very important book for someone undertaking a digital transformation project without the necessary foundation in place.
– Ray W. Frohnhoefer PMP, Managing Director, PPC Group, LLC – USA
“Fear” as the division in Nadia’s success formula is genuine. That part alone is worth getting this book.
Nadia and I met at PMI Global Congress where a client of my company, the Department of Treasury, was presenting an enterprise project & portfolio management system we implemented. From my experiences working with large organizations, Nadia’s unique angel and comprehensive approach for people planning and executing corporate change is invaluable. This book discusses a holistic approach-the mind, heart and muscles of digital transformation.
—Sophia Zhou CEO EPM Solutions, Author of I Can and I Will – USA
Nadia Vincent has encapsulated years of experience into a guide with the missing ingredient of most digital transformation projects – Great Leadership. Forget technology, only by leading an organisation through transformation, by instilling in your organisation the mindset required for continuous change, and overcoming the fear of the future, can you bring successful digital transformation to a business.
The Digital Transformation Success Formula provides a roadmap for technology and business leaders to ready their business for the future of constant change.
—Andrew Pryor Director CIO Watercooler – England

Every day Roger would race on the road, right up to the roundabout and then return, but rarely when it was raining.

Gem of Silence : André Consciência
Gem of Silence (The Odur-u Chronicles)
Fantasy often tells us of faeries, gnomes, salamanders, mermaids and the enchanted nobility of the human soul as we learned it from Paracelsus.
For the fantasy genre there is no dead nature, everything lives. But despite of it’s animistic aspects, not often did it chose the perspective of the magic being, and not once, an approach to it’s proper language, a language of the elements.
This book is it’s spelling, and a voyage trough the imaginary realm of the four philosophical dimensions, an adventure in the fashion of Dante’s Divine Comedy.
