Digital Leadership and Innovation
Digital Innovation is the lifeblood of any organisation, large or small. Digital Innovation is a crucial capability ensuring long-term sustainability of a business in that it allows continuous adaptation to changing environments. But it also is a capability that is hard to build, maintain or replicate in the face of changing and emergent new digital technologies that upend and disrupt organisations, 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 master and lead the digital innovation challenge.
