HR TECH OUTLOOK6 OCTOBER 2019For businesses to deliver value in today's competitive and volatile environment, having leaders that know how to best execute on a company's strategy and get the most out of their teams is a key success factor. As business landscapes continuously shift, leadership strategies also need a tech-driven makeover. To lead in this new reality, one should possess a new set of skills and competencies. Leaders must also build influence and persuasion through connectedness and inclusion, sharing work in progress, and inviting feedback from their peers. Thus, leadership development in the digital age means going beyond the old-fashioned approaches of capability building and adopting a leadership lattice approach over a funnel-based approach that involves identifying, assessing, and developing leaders at all levels of the organisation. One way organisations can do this is by creating opportunities for employees to practice their new skills incrementally--from basic to advanced--in situations that directly relate to the work they do. Another approach is to identify where digital ways of working will add value to the way employees work currently and enable them to experience the benefits of developing these skills. Firms that build the foundation for every employee to become a leader will not only be able to keep pace with the digital age but will find themselves ahead of the pack. Hence, how leaders lead the next phase of business development and people strategy will not just determine the success of an organization but also the quality and nature of work for generations to come. This is the founding principle behind WorkMatters, a leadership and organisation development firm that is guiding CIOs, HR directors, and other leaders to work their way through the people and leadership challenges associated with digital strategies. In this edition of HR Tech Outlook, we give you a glimpse at the successful journey of Kevin Empey, MD of WorkMatters and how as a people and leadership coach, he is helping organisations transition to the future of work. Alongside, we are also featuring some of the most prominent organisations in Europe that are transforming the dynamic work environment with their innovative leadership development solutions. We hope the state-of-the-art solutions offered by the featured companies as well as valuable CXO standpoints from industry thought leaders would help you get a better understanding of which leadership strategies work in today's digital age, and which do not.Let us know your thoughts!Leadership Development in the Digital AgeHanna WilsonManaging Editoreditor@hrtechoutlook.comManaging EditorHanna WilsonEditorial StaffAaron PierceAva Garcia Philo VazRussell ThomasCalvin JamesEditor's NoteSalesrichard@hrtechoutlook.comRichard WatsonCopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
