But they also found that these 8% were outperforming the competition regardless of size, industry or geographic location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Digital Leaders know that unless they were born after 1990, they are likely to be a &#8216;digital immigrant&#8217; &#8211; someone whose ability to use a smartphone, tablet and interact via social media networks, does not come as naturally as it does for &#8216;digital natives&#8217;. As with any immigrant in a foreign culture, there are new languages, attitudes and mind-sets that must be learned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what&#8217;s to be done?&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Digital Leaders Week 19-23 June 2017<\/b> is here to enable the leaders of today to become the leaders for a new Digital Industrial Age. This week will raise awareness of the opportunities in place to support leadership and to support transformation across the UK by leveraging innovation, skills and experience from across the tech sector, and from across the country, with a particular focus on our 11 DL Local regions outside of London.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Over 40 events in our inaugural year across Britain will offer leaders access to best practice, allow them to build stronger networks and provide a better understanding of the need to adopt new thinking and embrace innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hear first-hand the stories that will inspire digital change through people, outcomes and personal accountability. After all #LeadershipMatters!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We will be sending out a clarion call to kick-start the week at the London Stock Exchange on the morning of Monday 19 June, by ringing the Opening Trading Bell at 8am to serve as a reminder of the journey from the previous industrial age into our new digital economy era.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Joining us for the launch will be 100 senior executive guests representing the organisations taking part in Digital Leaders Week; from Government, Charities and over 50 CEOs from leading UK digital businesses. #DigitalLeaders<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, I urge you take part at an event near you. There are too many highlights to choose from, but personally I shall be in Leeds for the <a href=\"http:\/\/digileaders.com\/events\/annual-lecture-2017-artificial-intelligence-rise-machines\/\">DL Annual Lecture<\/a> on Monday evening, hearing about AI; before moving across to Manchester with DLNW discussing UX and CX; and in Newcastle with DLNE to talk about <a href=\"http:\/\/digileaders.com\/events\/delivering-norths-culture-digitally\/\">Digital Culture<\/a> and next year\u2019s Great Exhibition of the North. Then returning to London for the 12<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nd17.co.uk\/program\"> National Digital Conference<\/a> and a personal
