Digital Leadership for SMEs 

01/04/23 - 31/12/24

The Digital Leadership programme is a transformative approach to leadership in this technology-driven era. It's about embracing the possibilities and challenges presented by the digital world and leading your organisation through the complex landscape of digital change.

The programme supports leaders to develop a vision for how technology can fundamentally reshape the way your organisation operates and competes. Leaders will learn to support a culture of innovation, encourage experimentation, and become adept at leveraging digital tools such as MS365 and CRM systems to improve productivity, enhance decision-making, and increase customer engagement.

In a rapidly evolving digital environment, the leaders that play a crucial role in driving digital adoption and transformation are the ones that will be prepared for the future.

Cosmic will help you and your organisation gain a strategic understanding of digital transformation by developing your knowledge of digital technologies and their role in your organisation's future plans, growth, and success. Without requiring a highly technical IT background, you will acquire the knowledge you need to:

  • Strategic Insight: Understand the strategic importance of digital technologies and how they can drive transformation within your organisation.
  • Technology Awareness: Gain awareness of various digital technologies and their applications, enabling informed decision-making.
  • Future Planning: Develop foresight into future digital trends and how they can be leveraged for your organisation's growth and success.
  • Culture Development: Recognise that culture is at the heart of the organisation and people are the key to the successful adoption of new technologies
  • Growth and Success: Learn how digital transformation can contribute to your organisation's overall objectives and long-term goals.
  • Non-Technical Expertise: Achieve a level of digital literacy that empowers you to confidently discuss and implement digital initiatives without needing to be a highly technical IT expert.

The programme covers the following subject areas:

1. Develop your vision and strategy of your business in a digital world

2. Get up to speed on technology for your sector and learn how to apply it today

3. Learn how to support and improve digital skills and culture with your staff
