Ideas

In a world driven by data and powered by algorithms, the pressure to ‘be digital’ has never been greater. In her 2022 book with Paul Leonardi, The Digital Mindset, Tsedal introduces three approaches – collaboration, computation, and change – that you need for a digital mindset. Within each approach, she outlines the perspectives and actions that will enable you to develop the digital skills you need. Leaders with a digital mindset, she explains, can ask the right questions, make smart decisions, and develop their organisation’s talent towards successful and continual digital transformation. Tsedal’s previous books, Remote Work Revolution and The Language of Global Success, address the challenges and opportunities of working remotely, and operating globally.
