Translate policy on digital leadership and transformation management into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.
Digital Leadership and Transformation Management in the Technology Era
Build a working method for digital leadership and transformation management that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Most failures in digital leadership and transformation management trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in transformation management is earned separately. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of organisational leadership that participants can apply the week they return. Organisations that document digital leadership and transformation management properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the organisational leadership capability and prepares them for it. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with transformation management. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about digital leadership and transformation management under scrutiny. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting transformation management and under-invest in testing it. Participants leave with a plan for this part of organisational leadership sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
