Texem Says Digitally Strategic Leaders Needed for Success

Caroline Lucas, TEXEM’s director of special projects, says that only digitally strategic leaders will be able to thrive in the face of constant advancement in global technology.
Speaking on the forthcoming leadership development programme of TEXEM, Lucas said the need for strategic leadership had become more critical in the ever-evolving digital age landscape.
In a statement, TEXEM said the ‘Strategic Leadership For Success In A Digital Age’ programme would hold August 21 to 24 at Double Tree by Hilton, London Elstree.

“The relentless pace of technological advancements and the constant influx of information demands a new breed of leaders who can navigate the complexities of the digital era,” TEXEM explained. “To thrive in this digital age, strategic leadership is not just an option; it is an absolute necessity.”
According to the statement, the programme offers an exclusive opportunity for executive directors, non-executive directors, CEOs, chief investment officers, COOs and top managers to unlock the full potential of strategic leadership and help drive their organisations to success.

The TEXEM UK statement noted that staying ahead in the digital age “requires more than just an understanding of cutting-edge technology; it requires strategic leaders who are visionary, empathic, adept in managing complexity and agile.”
The faculty on the TEXEM programme includes Prof. John Peters, a former chair of the Association of MBAs that accredits Harvard, Standford and London Business School. There is also London Business School alumnus Paul Griffith, the world’s first professor of management to lead a team to launch a rocket into space, offering unique insights into leadership and innovation in volatile times.
Oxford alumnus Prof. Roger Delves is also a faculty.

Sir James Duddridge, a Member of the UK Parliament and former Minister who has served under the cabinet of three Prime ministers with a wealth of experience in strategic decision-making, will also speak.
UK former Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, stated that “providing leadership in politics and business has become progressively more difficult,” pointing out that business and political leaders “need to understand that all their utterances can be sent worldwide with a click of a mouse.”

Duddridge added, “With global economic challenges of high inflation, managing in a fluctuating foreign exchange world, rising operating costs and stiff international competition, global leaders must understand the pitfalls and opportunities of a digital age. TEXEM is well-placed to provide a forum to discuss these issues and unite global leaders in a safe space to reflect, return and lead.”

Sonya Ogunkuade, Commissioner and Special Assistant to the President, said TEXEM programmes “bring in life examples in all their presentations.”
Prof. Olatunde Atusanya, the commissioner of the Tax Appeal Tribunal, endorsed TEXEM programmes as “a good platform for advancing leadership development,” recommending them to “organisations or institutions desiring to improve their workforce in leadership and strategic policymaking.”
