Management Development Programme in Digital Leadership

The tech industry’s combination of fast pace, diverse and dispersed teams, competition and interdependence makes it a truly unique and dynamic environment, requiring a distinct set of leadership skills. It requires leaders who can manage themselves effectively, empower their teams, build accountability and drive performance. Leaders in this space need to:

  • Empower their team to take ownership of their work
  • Influence without authority
  • Build cohesion in a dispersed team
  • Use their leadership story to inspire others
  • Help their team to prioritise and manage their time well, drawing on appropriate apps
  • Provide feedback in an honest and developmental way
  • Navigate meeting / project spaces with dominant and difficult personalities

Based on AMI’s Management Development Programme, this specially designed 4-6 month programme is built for women leaders in the digital industry. Focusing on the things that you can do differently as a leader to inspire and empower your team, the learning is underpinned by research around how adults learn and grow. The programme is designed to equip you with skills and practical management tools that lead to real change and improved performance in your unit, department, and organisation.
