Enterprise digital transformation requires not only arming technology to the teeth, but also embedding technology into the corporate DNA, enabling enterprises to embark on a continuous journey of capability evolution. Unlocking the value of data elements is the main thread in the enterprise transformation process. This book comprehensively elaborates on the strategy, methods, paths, and practices of using data as a production factor, guiding enterprises to build new capabilities and evolve into digitally native enterprises.

In the digital age, data connects everything, and establishing "data thinking" is crucial for enterprise digital transformation. Enterprises need to form a mechanism of "speaking with data, making decisions with data, and managing with data" to truly achieve data-driven digital transformation. The author of this book has extensive implementation experience in enterprise digital transformation, forming a complete lean data methodology and providing a comprehensive and systematic deconstruction in the book. This book has perfect theory, rich cases, and practical methods, worthy of careful reading by every entrepreneur and CEO concerned about digital transformation.

As an enterprise executive, I have experienced more than 20 years of enterprise informatization and digitalization construction, deeply feeling that most enterprises' informatization construction still remains at the process management level. In today's era, relying on data-driven approaches to quickly respond to market changes is the winning strategy. Shi Kai combines lean thinking with digital transformation, proposing the lean data method with detailed content, profound yet simple explanations, and typical cases, especially the "role-playing game" style co-creation method, reflecting comprehensiveness, novelty, uniqueness, and practicality. This book is very practical for enterprises undergoing digital transformation and worth careful study.

Among the various digital transformation methods, many are just digitalization and middle platform shells, essentially still traditional informatization planning and ERP construction methods, which has always confused me about the essential difference between digitalization and informatization. After participating in Brother Shi Kai's Lean Data Co-Creation Workshop, I suddenly understood. The Lean Data Co-Creation Workshop is one of the most effective and convenient tools I know to help enterprise managers correctly understand digital transformation and drive its real implementation. I strongly recommend it to all digital transformation practitioners.

Shi Kai has sorted out the project practice experience of informatization construction and digital transformation of hundreds of enterprises over more than 20 years, creating a unique lean data methodology and writing this book. This book has profound theory, rich practice, and detailed cases, serving as a map for digital transformation, allowing readers to find a vast "new continent" with rich resources.

This book, centered on the lean data method, comprehensively elaborates on the strategy, methods, products, middle platform, organizational culture, and other aspects of data-driven digital transformation, incorporating a large number of practical cases and the author's deep thinking. It covers a wide range, has rich content, and incisive discussions, making it a high-quality and systematic work.

Digital transformation is a difficult but correct long-term process. In the VUCA era, enterprises need to adhere to value in rapid trial and error. In addition, the workshop combining card games proposed in the book is both interesting and useful, much more grounded than various high-level models. As a practitioner and professional content creator in the digital transformation field, I strongly recommend this book.

This book, based on Brother Shi Kai's years of project practice and theoretical research, combined with lean production and advanced data management concepts, first proposed the lean data method, providing high-level guidance for enterprises to conduct digital transformation from a methodological perspective. This book systematically explains the transformation process of data assetization from aspects such as enterprise data culture, transformation path, capability building, and co-creation workshops, elaborating on the key points of enterprise digital transformation. It has both in-depth theoretical discussions and clear practical suggestions, providing a beacon for many enterprises implementing digital transformation.

Data is everywhere, scenarios are complex, and most enterprises' data platform and data application construction are in a vicious cycle of "from start to pause, from pause to abandonment." Enterprises are interconnected, making it difficult to find transformation leverage. Without correct concepts and effective methods, enterprises' efforts for digital transformation may be in vain. Shi Kai's lean data method not only includes a mature system of data-driven enterprise digital transformation globally, but also reusable implementation methods, establishing order for enterprises' chaotic digital processes, giving digital transformation seeds a greater possibility to take root and sprout in storms.

How to promote digital work more targeted and effectively? Obviously, the focus should be on improving process efficiency and releasing the value of data elements. Is data really useful? What data is useful? How should useful data be used? How to support useful data to be better utilized? I believe readers can find their own digital transformation key in this book.
