The tools are moving fast. The leaders guiding organizations through them are struggling to keep pace.

McKinsey estimates that 90% of organizations are undergoing some form of digital transformation. The question now is whether leaders are prepared to turn that change into measurable value.

Drawing on a pulse survey of 50 senior executives, academic leaders, and talent-development professionals, Leading the New Digital Transformation from UNC Kenan-Flagler Executive Development explores how organizations are building leadership readiness in the age of AI.

Inside the report:

  • The top barriers slowing transformation, led by a lack of clear strategy or vision
  • What is driving change, from new technology adoption to workforce skill gaps
  • A five-stage Digital Readiness Continuum, from baseline understanding to leadership capability
  • Six core capabilities leaders need to build, each paired with a practical action
  • How to move from one-time tool training to dynamic readiness systems that grow capability over time
  • Four next steps for framing digital transformation as a people strategy

Download the report to see where your organization sits on the continuum and what it takes to move forward.
