Leading in the Digital Era
What You Will Learn
Through a rich learning experience that includes faculty presentations, new cases, self-assessment tools, small group work, simulations, and immersive interactive learning experiences, you will discover and practice new leadership approaches that will foster success in the digital era.
Application Labs
Each afternoon includes an application lab where you and your peers have the opportunity to apply learnings from the cases and faculty presentations in facilitated workshop-style sessions. Each lab explores a different topic—such as building data culture, enabling co-creation, or data-informed decision-making. You will also have the opportunity to explore a challenge you are currently facing in your organization and develop a specific action plan.
Based on Extensive Global Research
The curriculum draws on the teaching team's recent research, through which they gained powerful insights into the various personal journeys leaders have gone through as they execute a digital transformation and lead a digitally mature organization. Research methods included surveys, roundtables, and in-depth discussions with leaders in different types of companies around the world undergoing digital transformation. As you integrate learning drawn from this research with opportunities for introspection and interaction with peers and faculty, you will develop a new ability to take charge of your own leadership journey and help your company evolve.
Participants should expect to spend at least 9-12 hours on self-paced case preparation prior to attending the program. Case materials will be made available approximately two weeks prior to program start.
