Digital Leadership Programme
Transforming digital learners into digital leaders
Recognising that tomorrow’s digital leaders are today’s digital learners, the Digital Leadership Programme offers an intensive, invaluable educational experience for women with digital leadership ambitions. The programme targets talented women with several years of management experience in an industry that utilises digital technology.
This digital leadership course aims to increase the number of women in digital leadership positions – and thus serves a fundamental social and economic purpose. Women are historically underrepresented in digital leadership roles, and this programme seeks to provide them with the knowledge and skills that they need to succeed as digital leaders today.
The Digital Leadership Programme is in its 11th year and more than 135 women have successfully completed the programme. Prominent lecturers teach the modules from renowned universities in the Netherlands. The themes of the modules are 1) Embracing the new age of competition; 2) Strategic response to technological change; and 3) Digital transformation in execution.

The RightBrains Digital Leadership Programme brought me some aha-moments as well as new insights, mainly into the unconscious bias that is still out there, leading to less women than men active in digital technology. I was stunned by the impact of it, and determined to try and be more conscious about this. The networking aspect with like-minded women also working in digital tech roles is really an added value, learning from them and working with them on assignments during the programme.

I highly recommend the Digital Leadership Programme where women get together from several digital branches, learn and network. You form a basis about what digital technology is, the newest trends and the basics of programming. Definitely worth your time. I recommend it to everyone!
