Why attend Leading Successful Transitions in a Digitally Driven World?
Digitally driven change is upending the way we live and work and poses an increasing number of challenges for business leaders, who must manage a waterfall of decisions while continuing to lead their companies to success. Entire teams may be asked to transform their skills and ways of working as a result. How can we help ourselves and others to respond nimbly to change and prepare for the next disruption? And what is required to shift successfully from fragility to agility and thrive in this new world of work?
Navigating the transitions sparked by digitally driven change requires deep awareness of ourselves and others. This new program leverages leadership assessments and group coaching to provide leaders with insights, tools, and frameworks for managing the human side of these transitions.
Course experience
Led by Hal Gregersen, this innovative course emphasizes the creative intelligence and soft skills required of leaders when change happens. The course provides a transition toolkit to draw on as well as a structured process for containing, metabolizing, and addressing disruptive transitions, tackling the question, how do we recognize and successfully navigate transitions when change happens?
Course faculty also include Vivienne Ming, founder and executive chair of Socos Labs, and Rana el Kaliouby, co-founder and CEO of Affectiva, who will explore in depth the human side of digital transitions.
Participants will be asked to complete leadership assessments (for use in a group coaching day) and submit a summary of the key transition challenges they are facing as a result of digital disruption and transformation prior to the start of the program.
