Digital leadership - between powerlessness and empowerment

In collaboration with Leadership Week back in 2023, the entire public sector put a special focus on public leadership

Behind the Management Week is the government, KL and Danish Regions.

On the webinar you will meet

Kaare Pedersen - Chief Consultant at LEAD - Enter next level. He has written the bestseller "Problem-oriented project work - a tool book" which is in its 5th edition and in recent years he has written blog posts on Linkedin and in Danish Project Management.

Leading digitalization is associated with a lot of hope and vision, but it's also hard work in the parts of the organization closest to the citizens. 

Projects are raining down and you're rarely the decision-maker. Language and processes are unclear and the danger of impotence taking over is imminent. We take a reality check on the management of digitalization in the HR manager and come up with 5 suggestions for initiatives that can increase digital mastery.

Effective public organizations often succeed because their employees have a high level of professionalism and are able to create results by translating their professionalism into value for the citizens in the field they work in. If you really manage to translate your professionalism into value and have budding people management skills, you may be promoted to manager-by-employee. So, as a frontline manager, you are often given your management responsibilities because you are a really good educator or a skilled caseworker with good people management skills, but it will almost never be a concrete prerequisite for becoming a manager that you are also a skilled project owner with an understanding of IT implementation.

When digitalization changes society

Read an article by Kristian Dahl & Claus Elmholdt, Founders of LEAD, where they question 'what is welfare? In a nutshell, it's about the starting point, 'getting more tomorrow than I get today'. Expectations of the public sector are constantly increasing, and we expect what we get from the public sector to match what we get elsewhere in society.
