INTRODUCTION

Having a very well thought through, systematic and interesting social media presence is now a basic requirement for big corporations. The world has changed significantly because of connectivity among people, improved internet speeds, affordable technologies and 24/7 rolling news. There has also been an umbrella shift in the customer mindset. People are savvier, much more exposed to other offers and they are able to search online for what is out there globally, regardless of brand and nationality.

Organisations now need digitally-savvy leaders and employees to remain relevant and keep their customers. We need deep data-driven understanding of our marketplace, meaningful relationships through online communications and offers that drive retention and loyalty.

The Digital Business Leadership Training Course explores emerging best practices in social media and digital leadership, encouraging delegates to identify the blocks and opportunities for introducing digital transformation into their organisation.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

During this course, participants will develop the following competencies:

  • Assessing digital technologies and identifying those that will help the organisation address marketplace challenges and customer needs
  • Introducing digital technologies into the organisation with the support of leadership and so they are accepted by employees
  • Using social media and digital to resolve customer problems and build conversations and on-going relationships around brand, products and service
  • Developing deep customer and employee insights through analysis of digital data
  • Managing brand identity and reputation online through marketing and PR campaigns that deliver business benefits
  • Engaging employees through social media and building a collaborative and high performance internal culture
  • Effectively measuring digital outcomes and demonstrating the benefits to leadership.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Digital Business Leadership training course will benefit business leaders and professionals who wish to use social media and other digital technologies for customer service, branding, recruitment, talent management and employee engagement.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

This EuroMaTech training course combines presentations that share both theory and industry best practices with practical sessions in accordance with adult learning and learner-centred learning principles. Overall, 60% of training will be experiential and 40% will be theoretical.

Participants will have lots of opportunities to put into practice the skills they develop and enhance during the course. We make the most of small and whole group exercises, videos, case studies, peer exchange, brainstorming, role plays and discussions. Participants are encouraged to reflect on and discuss their own professional issues and experiences.

We will spend lots of time working one-on-one and in small groups to resolve the challenges participants face. They will leave with new ideas and skills they can implement immediately they step back into their teams.

Digital Transformation Case Studies

Case studies will be included in each of the modules to demonstrate the variety of ways global organisations are using social media and digital transformation. These will include BT, BP and Travelex.

TRAINING SUMMARY

This advanced Digital Business Leadership training course gives participants opportunities to hear and discuss latest best practices in digital technologies, and to analyse their own social media strategies and activities.

They will evaluate a wide range of social media tools and techniques, identify which are relevant to their organisation, and refresh their own social media strategy and implementation plans.

The Digital Business Leadership training course mixes theory with practical application so delegates can both explain how to manage social media activities and also deliver activities that generate value for their organisation as well as enhancing brand and reputation.

They will develop confidence in their knowledge, skills and capabilities and also be more motivated to deliver the best digital outcomes for their organisation and stakeholders.
