About This Course

The key objectives are how to assess our organization’s readiness for a successful digital transformation and make key related digital investments. Understanding the increased role of organizational culture and leadership is crucial for succeeding in this digital era. We will also explore the interpersonal and procedural tactics for influencing group decisions effectively. Another important topic is nurturing trust between directors, even in crisis situations, and managing conflicts with the executive leadership team. The module will cover the key ingredients of board collective performance and how the board culture impacts the organizational culture. Finally, we will discuss the role of the chair as a facilitator of difficult conversations, highlighting relevant behaviours and interpersonal styles.

What You'll Learn

This module explores two key connected topics. First, it covers how the board can provide direction and advice on how digital technology can enable business strategy. Second, it covers the dynamics inside the Board and how directors can effectively influence each other and constructively manage tensions between them in the most effective way and in the interest of the organization. It will also highlight the critical role of the chair in fostering an open and transparent board culture and creating alignment. On the last day, participants will participate in a board crisis simulation in a fictitious digital company.
