In an age of digital services that insinuate themselves into every aspect of our lives and businesses, it is essential that we gain a better understanding of how these tools impact our daily lives and what opportunities they present. From chatbots that can negotiate on our behalf to neural networks predicting customer demands, digital technology never rests, expanding the realm of possibility. How does digitalization create and impact the personal brand online? What new opportunities does it open up for entrepreneurs and opinion leaders? How deeply have our lives been affected by digital technologies? How can we use them to our advantage while minimizing the threats and risks that accompany them? How can we go beyond the conventional perception of digitalization to see the real changes happening around us and assess how far we have come in our use of digital technologies in business and personal life? How can we become true leaders in the digital age, what skills and knowledge do we need to develop now, and what does it take to stay at the forefront of digital innovation?
