  Dirk van Lier, Royal Mosa
Marketing Director

“For me, digital transformation means the process of revitalising or redefining your business strategy in order to be successful in the digital economy. Leadership is about guiding this process and supporting people in embracing this new digital reality.

Throughout the Digital Leadership programme, I appreciated the high academic level complemented by many applicable insights for my daily business practice. The assignments that we worked on during the evenings allowed me to apply the theory to my professional life immediately. One major take-away: ‘Always test your assumptions in the market’ .
