From Analogue Management to Digital Leadership

Why do we need a new breed of leaders?

Purpose + Passion + Networked

Technology is changing faster than our organisations

Progress happening, but internal structure still a blocker

Source: 25 interviews with Digital and HR Executives

Connected products require a connected company

Combinatorial innovation does not come from silos

‣The canonical example of combinatorial innovation is the Gutenberg Press.

‣To enable the invention of the press, separate technological innovations in paper making, ink and the movable type were needed before Gutenberg could create the world-changing press for which he is remembered.

Agility is now the number one change goal for large orgs

‣ Zero distance to the customer

‣ Decisions made at the edge

‣ Small teams, each sharing a purpose

‣ Employee entrepreneurship

‣ Digital workplace as a force multiplier for

connected orgs & leaders

How do we find & nurture digital leaders?

Today’s HR programs do little to develop digital leaders

Recruit a volunteer army of digital guides

Digital Guides Network - Criteria

‣ Curious

‣ Self-motivated

‣ English proficiency

Find the leadership patterns on your ESNUsing behaviour data, coupled with business results datasets, you can pinpoint the sort of leadership behaviours, attributes and influence you are searching for.

We need to reinvest our leadership development budgets

More challenging in content

More experiential in approach

“Learning is remembering what you are interested in.”

Richard Saul Wurman

More distributed in access

To develop leaders capable of handling the uncertainty of the 21st Century, we need new data-driven

methods for finding digital leaders, plus a sweeping change of the content, format, and access

to corporate leadership development.
