Digital literacy on the board
When technology, AI and cyber risks become a strategic responsibility at the highest level
Digital competence on the board is a necessity
In an era of growing cyber threats, rapid AI development and extensive digital transformation, Danish boards face a new strategic responsibility.
The board must be able to understand digital opportunities and risks and make decisions on an informed basis. This requires genuine technological competence at the highest level.
At Odgers, we are seeing a significant rise in demand for leaders who have not only driven digital acquisitions and integrations, but who have also delivered transformations with strategic vision, a solid understanding of technology and deep insight into the customer journey. It is these competencies that unlock the full value of digitalisation and ensure that the entire organisation is on board with the journey.

Why digital expertise is essential 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 is at the very top of boards’ risk registers.
That is why there is a need for board members who can understand digital risks, drive the dialogue on AI, data and technology, strengthen the organisation’s cyber resilience and ensure a strategic approach to digital development.

Leadership in times of uncertainty
AI and digital transformation create both new opportunities and new dilemmas. This calls for leaders who can work transparently, balance ethics and innovation, and foster a sense of security within the organisation.
