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 or professional experience in an industry that utilises digital technology.

This programme 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 9th year and more than 100 women have successfully completed the programme. Prominent lecturers teach the modules from renowned universities in the Netherlands. The themes of the modules are 1) A new age of competition; 2) Strategic response to technological change; and 3) Digital transformation in execution.
