Digital leadership means embedding digital thinking and ways of working throughout the entire organisation.

Equating digital with web, app and social media agencies is like claiming that food is just about restaurants.

Two
Examples

1. Custom funnel

Search on Thingiverse

Customise the model

Fire up the 3D printer

Wait a day or so

2. Weekly newsletter

Instagram #weeknotes

+ Twitter #weeknotes

+ a Google Calendar

+ a bit of code

    # Move onto the next page
    page_num += 1
  end
end

# Output blog post data
puts "Saving draft blog post..."
content = output_settings["preambles"]["intro"]
unless weeknotes.empty?
  content = content + "\n<h3>Things of Note</h3>"
  content = content + "\n<ul class=\"weeknotes\">"
  weeknotes.each do |w|
    content = content + "\n" + w.html.force_encoding("UTF-8")
  end
  content = content + "\n</ul>"
end
unless input_settings["calendar"].nil?
  content = content + "\n<h3>Coming Up in the Next Week</h3>"
  content = content + "\n<table>"
  events.each do |ev|
    content = content + "\n" + ev.html.force_encoding("UTF-8")
  end
  content = content + "\n</table>"
end
