Set up shared to-do lists for shopping, gift wish lists, general admin, travel goals. You could use Wunderlist, Apple Reminders, Evernote or Trello, depending on what mobile devices you all have and what you find the most useful.

Set up a Group Google Hangout or Family Slack Team for private sharing, organising dinner, keeping track of activities; invite your extended family.

Cancel your TV subscription and switch to streaming only.

Set up App Store and Apple Music Family sharing so that your whole family can stream music with one subscription and share app purchases.

Enable Family sharing on your Amazon account so that you can buy a Kindle book once and have it available to your whole family.

Set up a family blog (Ghost.org or WordPress.com should be fine, I personally like Ghost because it’s super simple and focused) and make it password protected. Use it to document your family events, birthdays, memories etc instead of publishing all of that content on social media. This can then become something to share with future generations of your family.

Sign up with Degreed.com and set family learning goals with regards to points earned per month.

Really admire what you are doing and this embodies one of the key attributes of a digital leader – experimentation. I similarly started pushing my comfort zones and experimenting with digital in the home a few months ago. I felt if I was constantly advising leaders to ‘become more digital’, horizon scan, embrace change and experiment, I needed to walk the talk. This became eye-opening and revolutionary for me in the digital transformation of my home. First, the platform, so installing wifi boosters in new rooms. Then, the environment with sound and music – Sonos speakers connected to wifi and controlled from my smartphone. Upgrading the 5-year-old TV so I could experiment with a smart, connected TV and enjoy 4K, HD, streaming services and range of apps. Recently obtained a couple of different VR headsets to see if I can really incorporate this into my viewing habits or is it just a passing fad in my house. Then of course added dear Alexa! Am discovering new applications of Amazon’s Echo everyday. She gives me my chosen weather and news briefings each morning, quickly tells me the current time in Singapore since I’m working on a project there from my
home in Suffolk and she’s about to even take me through a 7-minute workout. I think next is to consider all the IoT around lighting and kitchen appliances. I’ve definitely embraced digital in new ways and it’s done EXACTLY what I say it will do when I speak to other digital leaders – inspires innovation and the art of the possible! Best of luck with your heart of the home transformation.

The first one is personal. To make it simple , it is actually to do less of what I’m doing now : which is using less my smartphone while putting my baby boys into sleep . Setting limits to technology and drawing a line between human contact and digital contact will only contribute to the positive evolution of digital and this is what we all want .

My second commitment is to knowledge . I am planning to launch this year a research on Digital Leaders skills , looking at how the theory of leadership is evolving in a digital era . The research will be based on semi structured interviews that I will collect from leaders and recent leadership literature . I look forward in advance to the contribution of DL community to this research .

My 3rd commitment is to Digital Leaders . That one , I will leave it as a surprise .

Wishing you all and your families the best for 2017.

Cheers,

Dr. Hady Khalaf
Strategy Advisor
Digital Leaders

I too look forward to hearing how you get on – especially where a service/organisation has only gone partially digital. For example my children’s school has an online payment facility but only for some things – others still have to be paid by cheque or cash. The same goes for letters to parents – some are sent home with children, others are emailed to me.
It will also be good to hear if you decide to keep some established practices – apparently sales of paper calendars are still strong http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/29/business/paper-calendars.html?_r=0

Digital travel for me (when not using my car, which I don’t a lot of the time) really seems to consist of Google maps, uber and Stagecoach app – I think!
