Digital Leadership and Innovation

Digital Innovation is the lifeblood of any organisation, large or small. It is a crucial ability which ensures long-term sustainability of a business by allowing continuous adaptation to changing environments. But it is also a capability that is hard to achieve, maintain or replicate in the face of changing and emergent new digital technologies that upend and disrupt organisation, sectors and entire markets. Anticipating, mastering and deploying novel digital technologies and understanding their impact on strategy, processes, organising and customers is a crucial competitive advantage to mastering and leading in the digital innovation challenge.
