Digital Zero to Hero: How to reboot your digital alter-ego?
6pm, phone is buzzing, unknown number. I have 40 VMs. Who is still using VM these days? Can’t they reach out on Whatsapp, Twitter or if urgent, just send me an email with their request, so I can direct them in the right direction? Do people still have landlines and these old school recorders? My husband phone is ringing. It’s his mate, a successful executive thinking about career reconversion in start-up or digital. She just left me one of those VMs. There is the idea for this series of blogspot #digitalbootcamp.
Well here is the cracking news, despite you not having graduated of IT engineering, we are all digital leaders. 3 billion users on Internet , 2.5 billion of us are equipped with a smartphone (1), 1.71 billion on Facebook (2), you check your phone on average 85 times a day in the UK (3) and the 5 highest growth companies generating value worldwide are digital. We live our life digitally and our expectations as customers and owners of businesses have shifted entire industries. There is no head of digital, anymore than there is a head of industrialisation or head of customer. It is just what you do, on a day to day basis, so here are 7 steps to get fitter and accelerate your digital reboot:
2. The DigiFit: How does your leadership score in DigiSkills?
4. Catching the DigiTrends
5. Digital 3.0 and why it will drive your diversity agenda
6. My DigiHeroes, the true Digital Gurus
7. SmartUp: Open your digital chakras
