Democratizing Leadership Development in the Digital Age

In today’s age of digital transformation, it’s more important than ever for businesses to have capable and effective leaders in place throughout the entire organization. As landscapes continuously shift and new technologies are seemingly introduced every day, it’s impossible to predict when a leadership “moment of need” will occur. Organizations that build the foundation for every employee to become a leader will not only be able to keep pace with the digital age but will find themselves ahead of the pack.

In this session, Udemy Head of Learning and Development Shelley Osborne will illustrate the growing need for businesses to democratize leadership development and spread their leadership capacity throughout the entire organization. At a time when companies can no longer afford to be selective based on rank or tenure, Shelley will spotlight the fresh and innovative ways you can develop your people early and often to strengthen the collective leadership muscle. Shelley will not only share the effects that democratizing leadership development will have on individuals, but she’ll also dive into its impact on the corporate bottom line.

  • How to leverage frameworks and methodologies to understand organizational needs and serve the right leadership development program, and at the right time
