The world today is driven by digital technology and we are all affected, whether we are in a digital business, sell in the market or providing services for customers in the NGO, oil and gas and government sectors. The question is, are you comfortable with what is required of you as a entrepreneur or manager operating in the digital space?
Digital technology touches us all. We must therefore understand it, learn how to manage it and learn how to manage the people we expect to operate it on our behalf.
