Technology and the Boardroom
Is Technology a ‘Wicked Problem’ in your Boardroom?
A common problem Boards are increasingly facing is how best to manage new technologies, including AI, digitisation and digital transformation. This issue is manifesting as a ‘wicked problem’, complex and intractable; with no clear relationship between cause and effect, and when the leader intervenes, the problem itself is changed. Instead, Boards are having to adapt to this reality and change their mindsets and behaviours to manage it.
​
What this means is boards must be fit to lead in a technological age, with sufficient knowledge and enough confidence to ask the right questions of technology to maintain their competitive edge. The speed with which tech is developing is having a major impact on business models, workforce skills, supply chains, ecosystems, and customer expectations. As the world becomes more connected and data-driven than ever before, digital and technology are no longer a back-office silo, but core to business strategy. This shift requires an agile, adaptive, innovative mindset at the very top of the office.
​
We aim to provide a solution for this problem, through an assessment of the Board’s ability to ask the right questions and hold specialist teams and suppliers to account effectively. From this we can work with you to create a plan to ensure the level of digital preparation is as high is it can be.
Why Strengths Unleashed?

By investing in digital preparation you can achieve more effective oversight and governance of technology and digital for a competitive edge. With this technology can becomes a strategic partner, rather than a supplier, with a clearer picture of long-term value of investements in technology and greater ROI from projects you pursue.​
​
As a company comprised of former business leaders and specialists in their fields of expertise, many of whom sit on boards, we understand the day to day demands on boards and bussinesses. Our focus is on bridging the divide between technology and the business to improve commercial performance and maintain a competitive advantage. We want Boards to have the digital confidence and knowledge to ask the right questions and hold specialist teams and suppliers to account effectively, not to be technologists. We wish to work with you to make technology a strength to be unleashed, rather than a 'wicked problem' to be dreaded.
