About us
Community
The community is cross-functional and aims to develop the personal abilities (soft skills) of managers and facilitate exchange of experiences among 'digital leaders' from various digital and IT fields, rather than focus on improving professional skills (hard skills).
The community brings individuals together and does not require employer agreement. All community members agree to a confidentiality policy and may only use data obtained at community events for personal development purposes.
Participants of community events must not disclose the name of their company or the positions of other community members to third parties, and should refrain from publishing information about the event that could identify participants or their workplaces. This information remains within the community and cannot be disclosed without verified consent from the member in question.
Meetings of digital chiefs are conducted in a cross-functional board format, where members bring real issues to the table for discussion. During these meetings, members are allowed to make value judgments and recommendations based solely on their own experience.
