DAVOS, Switzerland,
Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
ManpowerGroup launches new report — From C-Suite to Digital
Suite, How to Lead Through Digital Transformation — with a
robust panel discussion at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting
in Davos. Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO,
and tech entrepreneur Will.i.am will host a panel featuring global
business experts that challenge traditional ideas of effective
leadership and explore what is required to lead through digital
transformation.
The debate will include one of WEF's most distinguished
champions and WPP CEO Sir Martin
Sorrell, Will.i.am, Dow Chairman and CEO
Andrew Liveris, Cognizant CEO
Francisco D'Souza, KPMG's
Head of People Susan Ferrier
and IBM Watson Chief David
Kenny. The discussion will be moderated by Financial
Times U.S. Managing Editor Gillian
Tett.
When almost 9 out of 10 HR leaders do not believe they have the
leadership talent to drive success in the digital era, leaders of
every size and sector need to lead differently to capture
opportunity and stay relevant.1
"What got us here won't get us there. Current and future leaders
in the digital age must be open to change and ready to take
calculated risks," said Prising. "The good news is leading through
digital transformation does not mean a complete replacement of the
makeup of strong leadership. Instead the 80/20 rule applies.
Foundational leadership skills like endurance and adaptability
continue to be critical. Yet in the digital age, effective leaders
must also nurture the additional 20 percent — unleashing talent,
daring to lead, and at times failing, fast; all to accelerate
performance. We are pleased to be joined by such diverse and expert
speakers to discuss how to keep businesses running smoothly with
one hand, while preparing for a different and uncertain future with
the other."
The report poses four key questions organizations should answer
to develop a transformation ready leadership team.
- Are our development programs designed to nurture and advance
future digital leaders?
- Does my leadership team and talent pipeline possess the
inherent enablers and coachable capabilities to drive successful
transformation in the digital age?
- Are we creating a culture of innovation?
- Are we using the right criteria to identify future
leaders?
