The Digital Boards programme aims to build board understanding of the potential and implications of the digital agenda and increase the confidence and capability of boards to harness the opportunities it provides. The programme has delivered:
1 Free bespoke board development sessions tailored to reflect the development needs of trust boards
Based on conversations with key leaders, the Digital Boards team design agendas that enable board members to reflect on their current level of digital maturity. Discussions focus on how digital can support the delivery of the trust’s strategic priorities. Across 30 board sessions, our survey of trust leaders found that:
-
87% said it had increased their understanding of the conditions for successful digital transformation
-
92% felt it had increased confidence in the board's ability to assure the delivery of digital programmes
My board found it incredibly inspiring to take part. We recognised a number of fundamental issues that have the potential to drive us forward as a result of the session which will help us to frame our future strategies.
