Business Leadership for the Digital Age
• Excited about the opportunities the digital age offers you and your business?
• See the potential for growth and relish the challenge?
• Worried about the risks and how to bring your team along on the journey?
All business leaders today face the timeless challenges of leadership, plus new, completely unprecedented ones, from the rapid convergence of dramatic changes in society, work and technology.
I strongly believe that the era of digital disruption brings great opportunity for agile, adaptive companies and their leaders.
I well know that the same digital disruption that brings opportunity also brings serious risk to whole industry sectors and to individual businesses. But risk is inherent in business: that’s why we haverisk mitigation policies and procedures with finance, with hiring, and with other aspects of business. Digital disruption is in a real sense just one more thing to be managed with sensible policies and processes.
I don’t take risk lightly and in many ways I’m risk-averse. But I’ve taken risks in my career and with my business, and re-invented myself and my business more than once, so I know the challenges and the fears that come with being an entrepreneur and really stepping up to leadership. I also know the exhilaration when you get it right.
When you work with me

And by the time we are done working together, you’ll:
