Disruption is happening everywhere and in every aspect of our lives. It is happening at a scale and speed that is unprecedented in modern history impacting diverse industries, from financial services to retail, media, logistics & supply chain, manufacturing, education, professional services, and healthcare & life sciences. Leaders are finding it challenging to navigate the near-insurmountable challenges resulting from the impact of these disruptive events on their operations and have to reinvent their operating and business models to ensure their survival.
Not every disruption is driven by advances in technology as we have seen in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic since early 2020 where organizations all over the world face uncertain futures in a global business environment that is highly disruptive and increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (collectively known as VUCA).
Organizations face a new era of
radical uncertainty and disruption brought about by other challenges such as climate change, financial crises, terrorism, Brexit, demographic changes in the labor market, health/disease risk, mass migration, and rapid developments in digital technology and its impact on transformation at the workplace. The management of shocks and crises is becoming an everyday occurrence. Organizations also need to be agile, leverage opportunities, and drive innovation to remain competitive in the face of challenging conditions.
Whether it’s the application of big data and blockchain technologies to operations and logistics, or the use of augmented reality and IoT to drive retail sales, digital technologies are changing the very nature of what it means to do business today. The pressure for organizations to innovate is so high, as 40% of today’s businesses are expected to fail in the next ten years, and only 30% of those attempting to transform themselves digitally will succeed.
The digital transformation describes the most profound change in our age. It no longer entails the mere implementation of new technologies but requires the establishment of a new understanding of collaboration and disruptive digital leadership. Not least due to increased organizational complexity and increasing uncertainty as a result of rapidly changing markets, the qualification profile of executives has changed fundamentally in the course of digital transformation.
The right leadership is critical for organizations to thrive in a disruptive business environment. How should we define leadership in such an environment? Are the current leadership practices and competencies still relevant in the face of such disruption? How can leaders set themselves up not only to survive but also to thrive in navigating the challenges of disruptive events and crises? What are the contributing factors of organizations that have successfully implemented their digital transformation strategy?
This Master in Disruptive Leadership (MDL) provides insights into an understanding of disruptive leadership and its related concepts. It explores the transformation of organizations in today’s highly disruptive, increasingly VUCA and the digital-driven era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0). It builds the case for organizations to revisit and, at times, reinvent their people strategy, internal systems, and processes and deploy the technologies that would suit disruptive times. The course also examines the attributes and competencies of disruptive leadership that would distinguish successful leaders as they guide their organizations through the disruption caused by the digital transformation at the workplace.
Are you equipped as a leader to deal with the strategic impact of new technologies on your industry and your business? Can you handle digital disruption and the speed of change? Are you prepared for a disruptive future of work and disruptive digital leadership models? Would you like to become a frontrunner in leading transformative digital innovation in your organization?
