Developing e-Leadership – the skills agenda
A European Commission Regional Cluster Event
3rd June 2014 from 9.30 to 16.00 at Henley Business School,
Greenlands Campus, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9 3AU, UK
Need for e-Leadership
Demand is growing throughout European industry to improve the quality of e-leadership, covering organisation leadership in ICT innovation to deliver business value. Research has confirmed a significant shortage of e-leadership skills across Europe - a call for action.
The European Commission e-Leadership initiative focuses on the leadership needs of top decision-makers and professional leaders at larger enterprises. These leaders oversee portfolios of both well-defined and emergent innovation opportunities. Successful design and implementation requires developing and engaging highly qualified staff to realise the target value.
Focus of Initiative and Event
The European Commission initiative found that closing the e-leadership skills gap requires a range of educational ecosystem actions. In particular it needs strong collaboration of demand and supply stakeholders to create new educational offers. Pilot work shows that this leads to innovative and relevant content for e-leadership curricula.
The present event at Henley Business School is one of ten regional events organised by the European Commission across Europe. The objectives of the event are to:
- Inform stakeholders keen to promote innovation through e-Leadership.
- Communicate the e-leadership Curriculum Profile and quality approach
- Provide insights and lessons from e-Leaders in practice
Sponsors
This event is organised by the European Commission, Directorate-General Enterprise & Industry and Henley Business School in conjunction with sponsors, BCS and EuroCIO.
