ESADE Alumni warmly invites you to this refresher programme talk, 'Digital leadership. The cornerstones of transformation' by professor Javier Busquets, director of the ESADE master in digital business.
During digital transformation, leadership expresses itself by creating an outlook or potential new vision that embraces the whole company. The strategic vision must be underpinned by a flexible structure that enables the necessary changes to be made by combining in-house and external sources of innovation and knowledge. Therefore, many transformation processes need leaders able not only to organize networks and hierarchies but also able to govern conflicting interests. In this respect, this talk will examine such matters as understanding the context, the way in which technological architectures transform business, and the implications for managers and talent management.
*Participants are recommended to read the following article before the talk: El liderazgo en la era de la transformación digital
