Disrupting Digital Busines
Harvard Business Review Press
We’re standing at the dawn of a digital business revolution. In fact, we barely realize it. As with the beginning of every revolution, those in the midst of it can feel it, sense it, and realize that something big is happening. Yet it’s hard to quantify the shift. The data isn’t clear. It’s hard to measure. Pace of change is accelerating. Old rules seem not to apply. You and I can’t seem to put structure around this.
Many of us have been here. But we can qualify the shift. We are…We’re standing at the dawn of a digital business revolution. In fact, we barely realize it. As with the beginning of every revolution, those in the midst of it can feel it, sense it, and realize that something big is happening. Yet it’s hard to quantify the shift. The data isn’t clear. It’s hard to measure. Pace of change is accelerating. Old rules seem not to apply. You and I can’t seem to put structure around this.
Many of us have been here. But we can qualify the shift. We are articulating how these businesses are about to change. We’re doing it piecemeal, but a story is emerging. We have one-off stories about massive business model disruption. In fact, the impact of digital on our personal lives is an early indication. From how we interact with each other to how we engage with organizations, the shift is right in front of us. Our personal experiences foreshadow how businesses will be disrupted by this digital revolution.
In fact, 52% of the Fortune 500 have been merged, acquired, gone bankrupt, or fallen off the list since 2000. The impact of digital disruption is real. However, it's not the technologies that drive this change. It's a shift in how new business models are created.
The secret to success in disrupting digital business will require organizations and individuals to know who they want to be, and live and breath it. To disrupt digital business, leaders must aspire to be:
• Transformation focused: Incremental innovation is not enough. Organizations have to design for transformational innovation.
• Relevant: Context drives the ability to deliver mass personalization at scale.
• Authentic: Digital provides trust and radical transparency through massive data backbones and open access.
• Intention driven: Best practices rules and processes aren’t enough, we have to predict what’s expected next.
• Networked: New P2P networked economies are guided by ephemeral self interest

The Predator (WW Release July, 2014)
Harper Collins
Grace was excited about the college re-union. Familiar faces from the past. But one face always made her go weak in the knees. A face that was a secret even to her best friend until the day Grace went missing. Everything was about to change for the sleepy town when the mutilated body of a young girl was found.
Was it the curse of the devil that enveloped the sleepy town? Had it chosen a vineyard for its macabre dance of death? Were the deaths connected?

A face that was a secret even to her best friend until the day Grace went missing. Everything was about to change for the sleepy town when the mutilated body of a young girl was found.
Was it the curse of the devil that enveloped the sleepy town? Had it chosen a vineyard for its macabre dance of death? Were the deaths connected? Would Inspector Khan be able to stop these strange events from unfolding in that sleepy town? Would he be able to face the ghosts of his past?
A gory tale of megalomania and obsession bordering on insanity, ‘The Predator’ is a book about online seduction, rape and unexplainable human behavior. Set in the backdrop of a thriving wine industry in India today, it exposes the dark side of humanity let loose in a virtual world where no rules exist today. It is a disturbing story about friendship, love and romance. The almost famous characters of the 'Horn OK Please' series of books must help the law to stop the madness that comes alive at night. They must find Grace. Be afraid… be very afraid, as hapless, young women across social networking sites are being abducted and abused for a strange reason. Dark & gothic, 'The Predator' brings forth the untold suffering and shame of millions of women who have been tormented. From the author of the 'Horn OK Please' series, this book aims to make readers aware of the dangers that lurk online.Other authorsSee publication
