Digital competence on the board is a necessity.

In a time of growing cyber threats, rapid AI development, and extensive digital transformation, Danish boards are facing a new strategic responsibility. Boards must be able to understand digital opportunities and risks and make decisions on a well-informed basis. This requires genuine technological competence at the highest level.

At Odgers, we are seeing a significant increase in the demand for leaders who have not only driven digital acquisitions and integrations, but who have also led transformations with strategic perspective, strong technological understanding, and deep insight into the customer journey. These are the competencies that unlock the full value of digitalization and ensure that the entire organisation is brought along on the journey.

AI is reshaping the leadership role and digital transformation.

AI has moved from pilot projects to a central driving force of digital transformation. Modern CIOs and CTOs are often the organisation’s key figures in integrating AI across processes, ensuring data structures and governance, and creating a culture capable of managing the major changes that accompany technological shifts.

Why digital profiles are crucial on boards

Cyberattacks affect companies across all sectors and often lead to serious financial and reputational consequences. At the same time, digital transformation is accelerating, and AI now tops board risk registers. This is why boards need members who can understand digital risks, drive the dialogue on AI, data, and technology, strengthen the organisation’s cyber preparedness, and ensure a strategic approach to digital development.

Leading through uncertainty

AI and digital transformation create both new opportunities and new dilemmas. This requires leaders who can work transparently, balance ethics and innovation, and create a sense of security within the organisation. The strongest technology leaders are those who can combine strategic courage with human understanding and navigate a high level of complexity.
