Technology decisions no longer belong exclusively to the IT department. Deploying an AI tool, approving process automation, choosing a vendor, managing a distributed team—these are leadership decisions. And the responsibility for their consequences stays with the manager, even when the technical work is done by someone else.
This webinar is an introduction to the mini-course “Leader of the Future: Practical Tech Skills” — and a standalone practical session in its own right. Over 1.5 hours, we’ll work through real cases from business, the public sector, and NGOs—and you’ll see how decisions made (or not made) by a leader determine outcomes for the organization.
What’s on the agenda
- How the leader’s role in technology decisions has changed—and why the “that’s IT’s job” model no longer works
- 7 real cases: AI tools, AI agents, process automation, cybersecurity, data, integrations, remote leadership
- “Digital Leader’s Compass”: self-assessment across 7 dimensions of responsibility
- Live Q&A
What you’ll walk away with
- Clarity On why technological responsibility is no longer optional for leaders, and what that means for you specifically.
- Real examples Of the management mistakes that cost organizations millions, and the questions that prevent them.
- A personal profile The “Digital Leader’s Compass”: a visual map of your own gap zones across 7 dimensions.
- A practical tool An understanding of which questions to ask your team and experts before your next technology decision.
Who this is for
Corporate managers—CEOs, COOs, heads of Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, Operations, and Product — those who make or approve decisions on digital tools and want to understand the risks and implications, not just delegate.
NGO and public sector leaders — Executive Directors, program and communications managers, department heads in ministries and municipalities — for whom digital transformation is already a reality, but a technical background for confident decision-making is missing.
