Competitors that did not exist a few short years ago have forced established companies to abruptly close their doors after decades of service. Sector leaders have fallen by the wayside, and new powerhouses have emerged. At the heart of this sea change is the digital revolution. In this dynamic new atmosphere, new leaders are needed – smart, engaged leaders who think differently, act swiftly, and build fully functional teams that can operate and thrive in a fast-paced digital world.
As companies invest heavily in digital growth, finding and attracting top leadership - chief digital officers but also chief data officers, chief technology officers, digital marketing officers, digital boards, and more - is only part of the challenge. Often companies spend considerable time and money in hiring digital talent, only to realize that cultural and strategic differences result in a poor hire.
