As digital transformation continues to feature prominently in organisational strategy, the focus is shifting to corporate executives to boost awareness in the workplace.
Management consulting firm, Phillips Consulting (PCL), says its upcoming annual digital learning roundtable will highlight the role of organisational leaders in raising digital intelligence in the workplace.
In a statement BusinessDay received, Modupe Thomas Owoseni, managing consultant in digital learning and technology practice, in PCL, says a people-centric orientation is what every organisation needs to stay relevant in the knowledge economy. The executives in the organisation have the bigger capacity to drive this orientation across board.
“For digital transformation work, organisations need to focus on fostering an environment that allows employees learn in a seamless and borderless manner, effectively embedding learning in their workflow,” says Paul Ayim, senior partner responsible for people transformation and learning. “This will equip employees with the knowledge required to make significant inputs into identified transformation efforts.”
Funke Amobi, country head of Human Capital, Stanbic IBTC, will deliver the keynote address during the roundtable scheduled for July 3, 2019. The statement discloses that address will focus on what CEOs, directors of HR and chief learning officers should do to shift the conversation beyond just talk to actionable steps that will raise the digital intelligence of their workforce, thus getting ready for what lies ahead.
