Upon a request from a partner company, I created an updated version of the Digital Leadership program I first developed and ran 2 years ago.
It is based on Positive Leadership principles that create the necessary conditions for driving DX. The program addresses some of the sufficient conditions from the leadership perspective as well. I can be customized for customer needs and where they are in their DX journey.
Here is the outline:
Context
Digital leadership is about leveraging technology to drive change, but it also involves leading with a vision that aligns with digital opportunities. In the age of digital transformation, leaders are not just administrators but visionaries who can inspire and guide their organizations through profound changes. Effective digital leaders understand the importance of agility and responsiveness in their business strategies, particularly in monitoring risks and taking decisive actions.
Target audience
Team managers who are directly responsible for leading people
Individual contributors who are experts in their fields and aspire to become influential leaders in driving digital transformation
Experienced team members who play important project management roles
Benefit
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the multi-dimensional aspects of digital leadership, including self-leadership, peer influence, and team leadership. The course will empower participants to:
Develop a growth mindset necessary for continuous learning and adaptation.
Enhance their ability to influence and collaborate effectively within their organizations.
Apply leadership skills to foster a culture of agility and innovation.
Effectively communicate and instill a digital transformation vision among team members.
What is not covered
The program does not cover technical or tactical aspects of digitalization. Although there will be opportunities to discuss the fundamentals of upskilling and managing in hybrid/virtual connections, we will not cover topics such as how to communicate effectively in email/internal chat, how to give presentations online, how to manage/access data, run reports, transition to cloud, or how to use certain tools effectively. The essence of the program is leadership.
