Why choose this course?

It’s vital that all organisations fully exploit the potential of modern digital tools, technologies and approaches to meet rising citizen & customer demand, expectations and needs at a time of severe spending cuts, austerity and resource constraints.

Almost all organisations are going through a digital transformation journey and the working environment is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Digital technology can provide enormous benefits, including enabling collaborative working, automation of tasks, self-service and cost reduction, flexible working and mobility. However, leading in a digital workplace requires new skills and behaviours. To get the very best out of new technology you need to re-define your approach to leadership to meet the challenges of the digital workplace.
