Seminar: Reflections on digital leadership for heritage
What’s it about?
We were all thrown in at the digital deep end when the pandemic began, with digital tools and channels becoming lifelines for individuals and organisations. At the same time, as 2020 unfolded, a group of CEOs and senior leaders from a range of medium to large heritage organisations undertook Leading the Sector, a year-long collaborative learning programme to develop their digitally literate leadership, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Digital Skills for Heritage.
In this seminar the team that delivered the course, along with some of the heritage leaders who took part, will reflect on what they all learnt over the year. They’ll explore the characteristics and mindset that digitally literate leadership requires and our guest speakers will share their experiences of building their teams’ digital confidence and their organisations’ digital capacity.
The seminar is designed for senior leaders in heritage organisations – CEOs, directors, trustees and others with management and decision-making roles.
When and where?
September 1st 2021, in Zoom.
Who is it for?
