helping others to succeed as well can definitely be considered as values that may
help to succeed in the changed environment of the twenty-first century.Moreover,
while developing relevant online andblended courses there is a need to collaborate
closely with different stakeholders. Identifying the skills that are demanded by
employers and designing course content to facilitate the development of skills that
are alignedwith industry demand need considerable input frommany stakeholder
groups and development of entrepreneurial mindset. Furthermore adapting the
curriculumshouldgobeyond the infusionofdigital skills to alsoaddress the roleof
digital leadership skills, the skills required of an individual to initiate and achieve
digital transformation across companies and industries, and develop digital lead-

6 Concluding Remarks
The discussion about digitally minded leaders with entrepreneurial mindset and
short case study about digitalisation and leading the digital transformation process
showed clearly, that although the new solutions and tools gained through digital-
isationarehelpful theydonothaveanyvaluewithout thepeople.Digitalisation just
gives the tools that shouldmake people’s lives better and their activities andwork
more effective, however how successful the process is andwill be depends on the
people and especially those who are leading it. In order to compete in the
much-changed environment, organisations need to succeed in merging their
activities and technology.Whereaswhile facing someof the greatest challenges as
well as greatest opportunities from the digital transformation, much depends on
peoplewith entrepreneurial mindset and the vision of the leaders.
