Code Halos: How the Digital Lives of People, Things, and Organizations are Changing the Rules of Business

Acknowledgments

In our work leading Cognizant’s Center for the Future of Work, our goal is to help our clients understand and leverage new technologies that will improve their businesses. In doing so, we collaborate extensively with a wide range of business and technology leaders, academics, and industry thought leaders. In particular, we’d like to thank our clients. There are too many to list here, but we are continually challenged and inspired by their insight and drive to create more successful businesses. Leading academics have also helped shape our ideas. In particular we’d like to thank Andy McAfee of MIT, Jonathan Zittrain of Harvard, Ramayya Krishnan from CMU, and Soumitra Dutta from Cornell. We are profoundly grateful for guidance from many business and technology thought leaders. Geoffrey Moore, Thornton May, Juan Enriquez, Bruce Rogow, Vinnie Mirchandani, Tom Davenport, DJ Patil, and Don Tapscott have all helped us strengthen our ideas.

Richard Narramore, Tiffany Colon, Christine Moore, and Peter Knox from Wiley have helped us develop our ideas into this book. Mark Baven, Mary Brandel, and Diana Fitter worked tirelessly to improve and tighten the manuscript. We’d also like to thank Gareth Evans, Matt Gould, Sam Hughes, and the team at Webfire for helping make the book (and the accompanying app) beautiful. Mara Stefan and Emerge PR have helped us connect our ideas to the wider market.
