Digital Leadership Programme

Transforming digital talents into digital leaders

Recognising that tomorrow’s digital leaders are today’s digital talents, the Digital Leadership Programme offers an intensive, invaluable educational experience for women with digital leadership ambitions. The programme targets talented women with a minimum of ten years relevant experience in business IT-related roles.

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 12th year and more than 150 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.
