Leading Digital Transformation for Business Leaders

Digital transformation fails far more often because of people and leadership than because of technology. This course prepares managers to lead the human side of digital change, from setting a compelling vision to managing resistance and building new ways of working. It focuses on the realities of African organisations balancing legacy systems, skills gaps and rapid mobile adoption.

What you will be able to do

  • Describe what digital transformation means beyond installing new systems.
  • Set a clear and motivating vision for a digital change effort.
  • Lead teams through the disruption and anxiety that technology change brings.
  • Address skills gaps and build digital confidence across the workforce.
  • Overcome resistance and build momentum for new ways of working.
  • Sustain the cultural changes that make digital investment pay off.
