Why is the digital community important to business leaders?

The collaborative world of “Web 2.0” is rapidly scaling corporate walls—and democratising how business works.

The digital world is transforming your organisation and your role in it. Boundaries are being flattened—between managers and employees and between companies and their partners and customers. It is creating the business models for the future.

It has moved beyond well-known consumer services such as “Facebook” into the commercial world. Innovative digital technologies are enabling customers, employees, managers and business partners to communicate and share information in new ways. It is moving publishing into participation—and consumption into collaboration.

In this new digital community, the roles and skills of leaders are being transformed.

Leaders now need to understand how to use a range of digital media to interact more creatively and effectively. They also need to understand the business opportunities digital communities are creating for businesses to tap into the actions, contacts and talents of people worldwide.
