We have three service offerings:

  • Leadership Assessment (we call this Leadership Diagnostics)
  • Coaching and Mentorship of High Performance Leaders 
  • A Global Resource Library for leaders 
At The Digital Board, we believe that Senior Technology leaders face one of the most challenging roles within the C-suite today in balancing ever-changing business needs with implementing the appropriate technology solutions. Whether these are helping create new business models for growth, integrating acquisitions, or streamlining operations for productivity, the ability to align technology with the business goals demands exceptional change leadership. Our assessment therefore places equal importance on both emotional intelligence (EQ) and intellectual quotient (IQ) and underscores the significance of integrating technical expertise with emotionally intelligent competencies for successful change leadership.

Designed exclusively for Senior Technology and Digital Leaders, our assessment is supported by a series of contextually relevant behaviours that all seamless align with EQ/IQ model and furthermore that statements that support these behaviours are also rated on a scale of 1-5.

1. Leadership Diagnostics:

A coach / mentor can help a budding leader to unlock their potential, develop their areas of weakness and bring their strengths to the fore.
We are building an expansive and diverse network of leadership coaches, each of whom have decades of experience as technology executives who can provide services either on a one-to-one basis or to an entire leadership team.

3. Global Resource Library:

Our leadership library has over 1000  resources and caters to both aspiring leaders aiming to reach a higher level of performance as well as established leaders looking to stay sharp and keep up to date with the latest trends and developments.
The resource library contains:
All of the content neatly aligns to at least one of of our key EQ or IQ competencies, allowing leaders to easily identify content relevant to their particular development needs. We are constantly updating and refreshing our library to ensure that the latest trends in business and technology  thought leadership are covered.

Why partner with The Digital Board?

Our research began over 20 years ago and has involved conducting over 7000 interviews with technology executives, many of whom operate within the world’s leading brands. The executives interviewed were spread across five continents, covering multiple sectors, each with varying degrees of digital maturity. We learned that there are certain qualities that successful leaders have, that others do not. Our research pointed to ten critical competencies (see below), each underpinned by a set of behavioural indicators that help provide more detail and definition of what ‘good’ looks like. This framework has specifically been developed for Senior Digital and Technology Leaders to address the gap that exists. Yet, we have gone much further than simply developing a competency model, we have developed an overall assessment process underpinned by a proprietary 360 assessment product that delivers both a structured and data-driven approach to assessing these leaders, as well as an exceptional reporting capability. Our assessment product is extremely rigorous and secure (running in the cloud on SAP). 

Having high performing technology leaders is a source of competitive advantage:

Pressure is growing on businesses to transform to new, modern ways of working, digitally enabled operating models where they can flex dynamically based on customer demand. Leaders are looking at both the technology available as well as modern ways of working as a source of competitive advantage. 

High performing (EQ/IQ) Technology leaders operate differently…

What makes a world class technology leader?

Balancing EQ and IQ is essential in assessing Senior Digital and Technology leaders. All of our leadership development offerings are tied to our ten key leadership competencies (6 EQ / 4 IQ). See an overview of these competencies below:
