From digitisation, data generation and automation; to artificial intelligence, private and public clouds and machine learning – technological disruption is happening at a pace and scale never seen before.
In the Industrial Revolution, it took 50+ years to redefine processes and take full advantage of technology. Now, organisations have as little as six months to change. Transforming quickly and continuously can be the difference between business success and failure. To harness emerging opportunities and compete, leaders must be ready to lead in the digital age.
Identifying and Nurturing Digital Leaders
Transformation has to start at the top. Leaders need to create a culture of innovation. They need to be open to change, prepared to take calculated risks and willing to fail fast. In short, leaders need to lead differently.
Yet, most organisations – including those that are ahead of the game – say that their leadership pipeline and existing leaders are not yet prepared to fully tackle the challenges of digital transformation. In fact, almost 9 out of 10 HR leaders do not believe they have the leadership talent required to drive success.
To lead in the digital age, business leaders need to combine the best of human and machine intelligence to create an inclusive, tech-enabled and forward-thinking company.
