This Quick Course covers Tech Essentials for non-executive directors at a strategic (non-technical) level in a one-hour on-demand lesson.
All organisations rely on digital technology in today’s world. Credible non-executives must be able to engage with the strategic issues that tech poses, whatever their level of technological knowledge and experience.
The good news is you do not have to be a tech expert to be an effective NED – and this course does not aim to make you one. Instead of covering detailed explanations of different technologies, it shares a clear framework to approach the digital aspects of your business through a strategic lens.
Join Shefaly Yogendra as she outlines key considerations for all NEDs – and boards – around technology strategy and decision-making. She shares recent high-profile tech-related events, and breaks down the key lessons from them which are equally applicable to private, public and non-profit sector organisations, large and small.
Our Tech Essentials Course covers:
- Key questions for NEDs to ask around tech
- How tech relates to your brand, reputation and business growth
- Digital Transformation – both changing existing tech platforms, and adopting new ones.
- Tech’s relationship with your people
- Whole business issues linked to tech, including ESG
The course includes a download resource with suggested questions to probe the non-technical side of tech projects in any organisation.
