Find your way in the digital jungle

Many managers struggle with the management of digitalization. They see it as a technical discipline that is poorly connected to their day-to-day professional management.

With the book "Leadership in the Digital Jungle", Per Eeg wants to help these leaders move forward - and guide them to find their own way through the digital jungle of opportunities and challenges.

The book is especially aimed at public sector leaders who are looking for an accessible and understandable handbook to help them manage digitalization.
Perhaps you experience uncertainty when entering the digital jungle. This could be due to a lack of knowledge or a misunderstood and difficult technical language that monopolizes knowledge in the IT department and at the supplier.

With this book, Per Eeg demystifies the language of IT and democratizes access to digitalization management. This makes it easier for you to incorporate digitalization into your core tasks for the benefit of citizens, organizations and employees.

NUET's competencies

In the book, Per Eeg combines traditional management literature with the latest literature on digitalization and generously exemplifies from his own experience from more than 20 years as a leader of digitalization in the public sector. Perhaps the first in Danish literature.

To succeed, you need to understand your role, acquire a richer language of digitalization and master four competencies: Curiosity, Uncertainty Management, Execution and Trust. Together, these competencies form the acronym NOW, which is easy to remember, understand and apply in a complex and busy workday.

Throughout the book, a number of top leaders pressure test NUET's competencies. They also share their advice on how to successfully lead digitalization in the public sector.

The idea of the book is to summarize key competencies in an acronym and phrase that leaders can easily remember and apply. Digital leadership requires presence. The book offers guidance for leaders to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the digital jungle created by exponential technological development.

What others are saying about the book

"A pleasure. Well written. Relevant. Good points. Appealing for managers."

..."Therefore, it is very welcome to have a practically oriented book that delves into what is required for the individual public manager to successfully master digital management. And not least, it shows ways for professional managers to take control and set the course for the digital development of their tasks.

..."Per Eeg has for many years worked as a consultant and advisor in the difficult art of understanding and integrating a digital mind-set at management level. Per has now translated his many years of experience and the many examples of good and less good experiences with public digitization into book form in an easy-to-read format. And as leaders, we need that."

"An excellent book written by a deeply professional digital enthusiast - can't recommend it enough for people with their fingers in the pie or others who just want to learn more about how to make the core business fit with the need for digitalization."

"Per Eeg has written an extremely useful and necessary book on digital leadership for public managers. The book's title "Leadership in the digital jungle" with the subtitle "A handbook in digitalization for public leaders" sets the stage for a pragmatic book in which the author, in understandable language, draws on his own extensive experience with digital leadership in the public sector and formulates a number of inspiring points of attention for the public leader who needs to succeed with digital leadership. He insists that the public sector leader must have basic knowledge of digital technology in order to lead the digital transformation, but he basically sets an optimistic framework both for overcoming the barriers that many public sector leaders experience and for the great potential that digital solutions can contribute to efficient task solving and quality in welfare services."
