00.00 | Why has "Digital Leadership" been chosen as the theme for Socitm 2017 Conference

01:48 | Over the last few years "digital" has moved from being a bolt-on, to being an "essential" and now to being the fundamental structure of everything we do. Not a part of something but the thing itself. And over that same period the primary function of digital in the public sector has changed from being delivering services to being delivering customer service and ensuring customer satisfaction

03:16 | Digital leadership is providing the bridge between what is "wanted" and what is "possible". Digital leadership is now about collaboration. Away with the heroic leadership model and welcome the empathetic collaborator.

04:40 | The task now for Socitm constituency is rethinking the leadership thing all within the context of place and place based outcomes.

04:55 | Socitm's priorities reflect the change from the necessary specialism being technology to new challenges require skill sets in associated with human behaviour and customer satisfaction

05:50 | What changes are required, what are the tasks ahead, what are the blockers to progress in the new digital leadership?
