Digital Mindset Session: new dates added
Scottish Government, COSLA and NES are delighted to launch new dates in 2024 for the Digital Mindset Sessions aimed at those in board-level roles across health and care organisations in Scotland.
This work is a commitment within Scotland’s Digital Health and Care Strategy, Data Strategy and the Care in the Digital Age Delivery Plan. It responds to a gap identified in terms of a development offer for board-level roles which builds the confidence and knowledge to lead, govern and support the transformation of health and social care services in the digital age.
The Digital Mindset Session is designed to empower board-level leaders (including executive and non-executive directors, trustees, and elected members) to set and deliver strategies related to new ways of working and considering the benefits of existing and emerging technologies.
It is an introduction to the concept of digital as a user-centred, collaborative way of working and technology as an enabler. Its purpose is to build an understanding of the mindset which underpins successful digital transformation.
The session is split into two parts:
- Part 1: video presentation (1 hour - pre-recorded)
- Part 2: a live expert-led interactive session with a small group of board-level colleagues from mixed organisations (3 hours - MS Teams)
Attendees have reported the learning and resources were both relevant and valuable to their work, and the session has increased their confidence to contribute to conversations about digital around the board table.
Director, Scottish Ambulance Service:
“I already thought I was well versed on digital opportunities, but this session has opened my mind further to another level of thinking.”
Non-Executive Director, NHS National Services Scotland:
“It was an incredibly interesting and helpful session and has stimulated a great deal of reflection and curiosity! The delivery and mix of discussion, content and case studies was extremely well done.”
