On Tuesday, a small group of Digital Leaders and I are presenting at the SSAT event. This afternoon we met and discussed our approach to our 20 minute slot. Do colleagues want to listen to my versions of Digital Leadership or theirs? Assuming I should play only a ‘bit part’ I am introducing their Pecha Kucha presentation. We are a team of 7, I have the opening 2 slides and the closing 2 slides. They have the remaining 14. 20 slides, for 20s leaves 12 minutes for questions. That is the true values of this method, the audience getting what they need from the presentation. Am I nervous? Yes. Will they do a great job? I hope so.
I have sent them away to think what being a Digital Leader means to them, what having technology with them everyday means for them. Importantly, that they would then have to share this answer with the delegates at the event on Tuesday. This evening I received an email, with a simple answer to my questions in the form of a quotation. (I have left it as I found, errors included). I don’t think I could have asked for a more insightful answer.
