    Agenda

    AGENDA

      1. Leading Beyond the Edge. Digital Age tools enable you to lead beyond your unit, organization, and geography, to provide innovative solutions to customers and other stakeholders.

      2. Building Deep Trust Relationships. In the Digital Age, trust replaces formal authority as the basis for leadership.

      3. Forming and Leading Virtual Teams. By recognizing that the Digital Age relentlessly shrinks time and space, virtual teams – when properly formed and led – turn this compression into an advantage over traditional teams.

      4. Collaborating and Co-Creating the Future. Multi-organizational value networks, formed from a portfolio of relationships with customers and stakeholders, are replacing traditional, single-company-owned, linear value chains. This new business model requires leaders to adopt a “co-creation mindset.”

      5. Learning Dynamically. The only sustainable competitive advantage in the Digital Age is the capability to learn, adapt, implement, and learn as you go, faster and better than your competitors.
