Change is the new constant in leadership of the 21st century. Never before in history have the opportunities of creating new business value been so easily reachable for organizations – and so elusive at the same time. Digital technology offers speed and scalability to drive successful innovation and adaptivity on the one hand – and represents one of the most important leadership challenges on the other. Leaders are charged with navigating the dynamic complexity of a new era, which more than ever requires a holistic perspective.
The "Leading Digital Transformation and Innovation" program consists of 3 face-to-face training blocks which are a combination of impulse lectures and practice slots, complemented and deepend by online materials made accessible on this platform.
