Are you ready to take leadership? This Modern Leadership course gives you the skills to take charge in times of digital transformation. We’ll equip you to guide sustainable businesses and drive progress in today’s fast-changing world.
When talking about taking the lead in organizations in today's society, we cannot avoid the topic of 'digital transformation'.
Digital transformations are going in full steam. All sectors and fields of our society are going through it and it implies great changes in the ways organizations operate and create value. In this course, we see digital transformations as an adaptation of public sector capacities, workflows, business processes, operations, methodologies, and frameworks to the rapidly evolving dynamics and relations between the stakeholders that are already enabled – and in many instances empowered – by digital environments. Clearly, stages in digital transformations and the contexts determine the need for leadership modes. These transformations demand accurate knowledge and well-developed visions of how to deal with the challenges we all face. Challenges such as urban mobility, energy transition, climate change, health care, and circular economy. In order to manage transformations, understanding the role of leadership is key. Taking leadership is a necessity at all levels and relevant for many roles and functions in organizations. In digital transformations, taking leadership is certainly not the exclusive domain of managers and CEO’s.
As you move through the course, you’ll sharpen your leadership skills while driving real change toward a more sustainable world. This is your chance to grow—both personally and professionally—and to take your career to the next level. We’re excited to see the powerful impact you’ll create in this world.
