Knowledge session 1: Impactful digital leadership at a scale-up

Scale-ups are being led by ambidextrous leaders. How can ambidextrous leadership be applied to the digital world?

Leadership is one of the main components when it comes to the successful scaling of an organisation. Scale-ups are led by ambidextrous teams filled with ambition, confidence, entrepreneurial experience, management competence and competition capabilities. So, quite the list of characteristics needed to allow a company to grow successfully.

As soon as a company reaches the scale-up phase, it is faced with a whole new set of challenges that require a new kind of leadership skills. The three most important skills to excel at are: (1) being visionary and ‘making big bets’; (2) stimulating high performance; and (3) situational leadership. In today’s world, an extra complex component is added into the mix, namely, the digital realm. How can ambidextrous leadership be applied to the digital world?

During this online event we will outline the situational leadership model, delve deeper into the aforementioned skills, and explain how this can be applied to a scale-up.

ScaleUpNation and Newpeople will work together in the coming two years and organise a series of events about the impact of (digital) leadership at a scale-up.

Within the context of One Single Hub, a government initiative to strengthen the ecosystem surrounding scale-ups, ScaleUpNation has combined forces with a number of leading parties in the market. OneSingleHub was started by the Dutch government (Ministry of Economic Affairs) and is executed by the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO). The goal is to combine regional forces and start-ups and scale-ups in an effective and efficient way. In this way the government hopes to obtain a top 5 position in the world for the Dutch start-up and scale-up ecosystem. By facilitating proven successful regional programmes, they have a national effect, thereby strengthening the Netherlands’ competitive and innovative position.
