Digital Leadership Forum
It’s only with confident digital leaders that organisations will be able to navigate through change in the digital age. What makes a digital leader confident is a set of skills, abilities and frameworks they can use to support and work with their colleagues at every level in an organisation.
Who is it for?
A digital leader is anyone in the organisation who is leading some aspect of digital change – from digital managers, heads and directors of digital to senior leaders, communications, fundraising and IT directors, service delivery leads or data and supporter care leads.
Previous participants have included digital leads from Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Barnardo’s, CAFOD, Chatham House, The Kings Fund and many more.
What makes it special?
The forum has few presentations. Instead, it’s participative, with time to practice skills and test frameworks. Hierarchy is not important, DLF participants learn from each other. The two days are facilitated to ensure the right mix of hands-on work, learning and reflection.
Programme overview
The event is designed to help participants work on their personal leadership development plans for the year.
Both days provide time for participants to reflect and practice, individually or in groups, on leadership and change models. Following the workshop participants will be able to use these techniques and models in their organisations and teams.
Two days are structured around the proactive planning model:
Proactive planning model

Refreshers
Refreshers for digital leads are half-day workshops where people can come together in a safe space to discuss and exchange their experiences of leading digital in their organisations.
Coaching and mentoring
These are 75-90 minute sessions where we discuss work issues that are on your mind. This can be anything from how to structure, build and manage your team to how to influence peers and management or develop your confidence and communications style.
