Why digital leadership?

European Commission research has shown that there is a significant shortage of digital leaders in the digital economy. To help close the e-leadership skills gap, we have launched the Digital Leadership Forum to meet the requirements of all relevant stakeholders and develop a new generation of digital leaders.

Forum objectives

Our principal objective is to deliver and communicate current and future research results, practices, and policies and programmes in digital leadership, at a high relevance to decision-makers at all levels.

Other key activities include:

identifying technology trends that affect the strategic role of leadership in the digital economy
sharing the latest research on the demand and supply of digital leadership skills
researching and designing sectorial and regional policy for business
exchanging research findings and disseminating best practice through our networks
engaging in knowledge transfer with business, through, for example: training, coaching, co-design and consultancy
designing and providing educational offerings in the field of digital leadership

Taken together, our work will impact on academia, business, society and the economy.
