Digital Conversations – six, two-hour modules over six weeks
Digital Conversations focus is to assist leaders in transforming their business organizations to strategically leverage digitalization. The course has evolved from Bridges worldwide digital research and engagements and examines the impact on an organization’s culture, employees, technology and customers. It presents the Ticking Clock© Model to guide leaders through their organization digitalization journey that has been featured in Forbes, Duke CE and other international media.
Adopting digitalization is not optional for organizations; it’s compulsory – especially in a Covid 19 environment. But the extent and speed at which it’s adopted depend on the organization’s markets and strategy. Recognizing this, Digital Conversations features interactive discussions provoked by sharing a model, methodology, hard-hitting facts and by challenging current perceptions. It also includes the new SMU case study by Speculand on how DBS Bank digitally transformed to the best bank in the world. The course guides leaders to initiate building how their organization can implement digitalization. It includes pre-course assignments such as digital maturity assessment and case reading as well as post work.
It’s not about having a digital strategy but executing a strategy in the digital world.
This course is for leaders looking to discover how to adopt digital and a framework to make sense of all the different components of digitalization.

You move from discussing the strategy among the top leaders to sharing the new strategy with your whole organization. From experience, you instinctively recognize this implementation will be tougher than you anticipate. Too many organizations charge ahead with implementation without learning from the past and conducting due diligence of their readiness to implement.
