Shape advanced leadership competencies to manage the cutting-edge technological shift of digital transformation

How to earn money in the future? When approaching digital transformation, many organisations are still waiting to see tangible business results from implementing new technologies in their business models and factories. This discrepancy between strategy  and implementation suggests a gap between aim and reality and also calls for a leadership upskilling. Advanced leadership competence and team capabilities to realize the full potential of digital technologies is key to thrive in a digital workspace. In this context, leaders need to combine 1. the adoption of advanced technological knowledge with agile management techniques and 2. data-driven teamwork. The risk to fail is too high. Meanwhile, digital business development projects require new leadership excellence and speedy team progress.
