Leadership Skills Required for Digital Transformation

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

As companies ramp up their capabilities to digitise their business they are in desperate need of specific talent to help them accomplish their objectives.

One area in the business that requires specific skill sets is in the leadership team. Well orchestrated digital transformation must be driven by a leadership team. It’s very interesting to begin to see data on what qualities a leader needs to have in order to lead a company during its digital transformation.

Do you have individuals with these skills on your executive team?
