What is digital leadership?

Digital leadership goes beyond merely using technology. It’s about the ability to navigate effectively in a rapidly changing society, recognize opportunities, and provide direction for your organization. It requires vision, but also connection: how do you engage colleagues, build bridges with partners, and inspire audiences and stakeholders?

In the cultural sector, digital leadership means not only developing the internal organization but also contributing to the digital renewal of the sector as a whole.

The digital leadership test

To support directors and managers in this, DEN and InJoin developed the digital leadership test. This test provides insights into:

Your personal profile as a digital leader.
Which skills you already excel in.
Which competencies you can further develop.
How you can guide your organization and employees through digital transformation.

The test is specifically designed for the cultural sector and focuses on knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for making an impact as a leader.
