These intersections of people and technology create new systems and opportunities for scaling, and require new skillsets for professionals working in the field. The book will be structured around seven basic precision designs professionals can use right now. Based on the authors' collective seven decades of teaching, consulting, and staff-work at the highest levels of government, industry, and commerce -- along with a number of case studies -- these methods are designed for any firm or agency, any executive or manager, coach or campaign chief, for success with precision today. A variety of designs are especially important -- as books with an explicit focus on digital transformation explain, companies born in the digital age and legacy companies have their own unique challenges. This work homes in on key data science strategies for business professionals, demonstrating how they can conceive, improve, and implement their ideas"-- Introduction: From Digitization to Precision -- Six Kinds of Precision Systems -- Design, Test, and Prove: Key Steps in Building a Precision System -- Getting Started with Data and Platforms -- The Precision Vanguard -- The Political Management of Precision -- Bootstrapping Precision -- Creating and Managing Teams of Precision -- Building the Precision Enterprise -- Red Zones of Precision -- Lessons for Leaders.
