Digital Advantage

Digital technologies can help businesses achieve enhanced productivity, capacity for innovation and better working lives. But how do you achieve organisational and workforce readiness for digital innovation? And how do you make it work for your organisation?

The Digital Advantage Programme can make all the difference.

We have the expertise, experience and evidence to help you:

  • Understand the potential of digital technologies for your workplace;
  • Prepare and engage your people;
  • Gain the knowledge, skills and practical resources to be a digital change leader.

Investment in new technologies increased during each of the last three recessions. It is likely to do so again in the economic downturn after the COVID-19 crisis.

Digital Advantage is a customisable package of support for digital innovation. The package can include:

  • Introductory in-house workshops/webinars on digital awareness
  • Organisational and workforce readiness assessment (The Workplace Innovation Diagnostic®)
  • Blended e-learning, coaching and workshops/webinars for your change leaders (ILM accredited)
  • Assessing the potential for digital innovation in your organisation
  • Expert guidance for action planning and implementation
  • Peer-to-peer support and shared learning with other organisations on comparable journeys.

What will Digital Advantage do for me and my business?

Together with our international partners we’ve been analysing research and leading practice from across Europe to create a unique programme.

  • Maximise the synergies between human and digital potential, building on the tacit knowledge, skills and creativity of your workforce.
  • Involve employees affected by new technology in its procurement and implementation to reduce avoidable obstacles and mistakes.
  • Upskill people to manage technologies in house and to take on self-management roles associated with leaner and flatter organisational structures.

Your business benefits from expert support in:

  • identifying and designing the digital technologies that help achieve its strategic goals;
  • building organisational and workforce readiness for digital innovation;
  • making successful and sustainable change happen.
