Why boards of directors don’t engage with IT
Businesses are increasingly dependent on “digital” to create value. Therefore, boards of directors can no longer afford to relinquish control of IT-related strategic decisions.

How can organizations ensure they successfully handle digital transformation? Certainly not by wildly investing in every new technology that comes along. Blundering into hype cycles and blindly following the advice of so-called gurus is definitely not the best strategy. And yet it is what many companies end up doing in the absence of a clear digital transformation policy.
How do you involve your physicians in the changes in healthcare?
One of the specialized leadership programs at Antwerp Management School is that for the healthcare sector. Hospitals face many challenges and change processes.
