The integration of next-generation technologies such as AI, robotics, cloud computing, big data, and many others has caused leaders and particularly managers to rethink their strategies by prioritizing building digital fluency as a critical capability to properly lead in this digital age.
Digital leadership is now more than ever about empowering others and creating self-organized teams that optimise day-to-day operations. Leadership in the digital age is no longer a one-man show, but rather a team effort and a set of skills that are required to stand out.
Digital Literacy in the Digital Age
Businesses are being disrupted or reinvented by digital business models and a lot of digital managers still don’t possess the right skills or operation structure to adapt to the fast-rising digital needs of businesses.
The first and main challenge is due to the fact that current leaders come from an older generation of traditional marketing and are still skeptical about the impact of predictive analytics in their job. This is why it’s important and way easier to grow up immersed in all digital aspects to avoid especially with the younger generation who are constantly getting up-to-speed vs. the digital immigrants that can quickly fall behind.
Moreover, as more people are learning grips with technology and the tools of the internet, the best and brightest digital leaders will rise up upon the knowledge they acquire, and business school are also aware and began working on continuously forming experts that thrive in professional development at all levels of a workforce.
The best of both schools ESiLV and the EMLV of Pôle Léonard de Vinci is now shaped in the latest Bachelor Technology & Management programme that is aimed at students who wish to follow a path combining both engineering technologies in the digital world and top-notch managerial skills.
