In Praise of ‘A New Digital Deal’: the first testimonials

A New Digital Deal has been out for close to three months – and this has resulted in a great badge of testimonials. Per the below, find out what leaders in the field have to say about the book…

Bas Boorsma’s new book does double duty. First, it helps with strategy, by suggesting the broad outcomes and values that should be at the center of any smart city effort. Second, it helps with tactics by proposing a framework to guide your actions. He recommends the best practices — and warns of the greatest pitfalls — based on years of hard-won experience. Essential reading for cities and the companies that serve them.

What a pleasure to read Boorsma’s A New Digital Deal. Rooted in deep conceptual and historical grounds, he nonetheless provides a wealth of practical advice, lessons learned and executable strategies for communities wishing to transform themselves with the help of digitalization. There are many excellent practitioners and thinkers voices here too. But critically, it’s not just a practical guide for the perplexed – it’s very thoughtful about the human and ethical dimensions of real place making and community building.

Successful digitalization of communities is a complex patchwork quilt of many competing priorities and stakeholders.  Bas Boorsma articulates these challenges, and more.  ‘A New Digital Deal’ provides a comprehensive road map to help city and corporate leaders successfully translate the smart city promise into reality.  The opportunity to finance this vision will no doubt be equally compelling!

Stephen Burns, Managing Director, Barings Alternative investments, United Kingdom

 

Like so many others I am well aware of the revolutionary nature of the transition we find ourselves in the middle of. However, A New Digital Deal makes the point clearly as to how much larger, closer and disruptive this transition is. The book brings about the optimist in me yet it also has me contemplate a number of pensive perspectives to the point of pessimism. It has one realize how little the topic features on political agendas. Great progress is being made irrespective of the political powers-that-be, yet that brings about the inherent risk of propelling innovations without checks or balances. I admire the research that has gone into the book, especially given the vastness and comprehensive nature of the subject-matter – in the end, this book does not focus on a single industry or domain but on society at large. It is philosophical, visionary, clear-sighted and to the point – a work of high quality.
