I authored this book because dealing with intelligence, and the digital world is a passion for me and wanted to share my passion with you. In this book, I aim to provide compelling ideas and unique ways to increase, enhance, and deepen your digital intelligence and awareness and apply them to your organisation’s digital journey particularly for modernisation and transformation initiatives. I used the architectural thinking approach as the primary framework to convey my message. Based on my architectural thought leadership on various digital transformation and modernisation engagements, with the accumulated wealth of knowledge and skills, I want to share these learnings in a concise book hoping to add value by contributing to the broader digital community and the progressing initiatives. Rest assured, this is not a theory or academic writing. It is purely practical and based on lessons learned from real enterprise transformation and modernisation initiatives taken in large corporate environments. I made every effort to make this book concise, uncluttered, and easy-to-read by removing technical jargons for a broader audience who want to enhance digital intelligence and awareness. Upfront, this book is not about a tool, application, a single product, specific technology, or service, and certainly not to endorse any of these items. However, this book focuses on architectural thinking and systematic approach to improve digital intelligence and awareness. It is not like typical digital transformation books available on the market. In this book, I do not cover and repeat the same content of those books describing digital transformations. My purpose is different. What distinguishes this book from other books is that I provide an innovative thinking framework and a methodical approach to increase your digital quotient based on experience, aiming not to sell or endorse any products or services even though I mention some prominent technologies which enable digital transformation, for your digital awareness, intelligence, and capabilities.

My Journey to Digital Intelligence
I am passionate about intelligence. More than anything else, as a personal interest, intelligence is a thrilling and uplifting subject for me. Strangely enough, I am attracted to intelligent people, animals, and machines. It became such an obsession that I couldn’t hold it anymore to myself and wanted to share my thoughts and passion with my readers, hoping that this madness can add some value to them.
My cravings to understand human and machine intelligence started in earlier years of my tertiary studies in informatics and intensified with my doctoral studies in cognitive science which covered both natural and artificial intelligence. I am still obsessed with this topic hence couldn’t help myself to share my thoughts with a broader audience.
Extending human intelligence using technology intelligence has been a particular interest over the years. Therefore, I continued my studies and research in the area and chose a profession to deal with both human and machine intelligence in a broader sense and an integrated context.
My brain loves structures and patterns since I have been a technologist and practising as an Enterprise Architect dealing with people, technology, process, tools and integration of heterogeneous systems. These engagements required a considerable amount of intelligence to achieve successful outcomes in commercial settings.
Like the universe itself, then out of nowhere, digital intelligence came into the picture to extend my intelligence to a different perspective. Since then, I keep swimming in the digital ocean daily and find it quite refreshing even though it may be risky and harmful for my health at times; but I love it. Now you may ask it rightly, where is the intelligence in this paradox.
