Digital Skills for Leaders covers the essential digital skills critical for leaders to drive digital transformation. The participants will get to appreciate the customer centric and design thinking approach as well as mindset to develop services that are innovative and also appealing to the target audience. 

The main responsibility of a leader is about decision making. Data-driven decision-making aims to leverage insights from data to guide choices and drive measurable outcomes. It will also minimise guesswork and reduce subjective bias in decision-making processes. Through use of transparent and shared information as well as leverage of data analytics, leaders will be able to make more strategic, responsive, and customer-focused decisions, driving long-term success and resilience.

In leading digital delivery teams, leaders need to have a Product Thinking approach to create long-term scalable product solutions. Besides customer centricity and data-driven decision-making, Product Thinking also advocates focus on outcome-oriented goals and scalability. The mindset and framework will help product managers stay responsive to user needs, strategically aligned with business goals, and focused on delivering meaningful, value-driven products in a dynamic digital landscape.
