When talking about taking the lead in organizations in today's society, we cannot avoid the topic of 'digital transformation'.

Digital transformations are going in full steam. All sectors and fields of our society are going through it and it implies great changes in the ways organizations operate and create value. In this course, we see digital transformations as an adaptation of public sector capacities, workflows, business processes, operations, methodologies, and frameworks to the rapidly evolving dynamics and relations between the stakeholders that are already enabled – and in many instances empowered – by digital environments. Clearly, stages in digital transformations and the contexts determine the need for leadership modes. These transformations demand accurate knowledge and well-developed visions of how to deal with the challenges we all face. Challenges such as urban mobility, energy transition, climate change, health care, and circular economy. In order to manage transformations, understanding the role of leadership is key. Taking leadership is a necessity at all levels and relevant for many roles and functions in organizations. In digital transformations, taking leadership is certainly not the exclusive domain of managers and CEO’s.
