Digital Leadership
Context
Digital transformation and digitalisation are on top of the CIOs’ agenda. However, organisations embarking into these initiatives struggle to understand the nature of leadership capabilities required for effective DT. Furthermore, the complexities associated with pandemics such as Covid19 have forced organisations to change the traditional view of leadership. The uncertainties require well-rounded leaders who can create vision and execute tactically to influence change, develop digital capabilities and foster enterprise agility.
This project explores how organisations build and using digital capabilities to address the challenges posed by the competitive environment. The outcomes are expected to document and categorise digital capabilities within different organisational contexts such as public sector, health, education and retail. Objectives of this project are:
- Develop a digital leadership capabilities framework for public sector organisations
- Develop a digital leadership maturity model for public sector organisations
