Global Digital Practice at Amrop 2024 World Conference
At the end of last month, the members of Amrop's Global Digital Practice met for a valuable, successful, and lively workshop during the Amrop 2024 World Conference, which took place in Munich.
The meeting was opened by Job Voorhoeve, global practice leader and also Partner at Amrop the Netherlands. Practice’s last year’s achievements were discussed, and a number of partners presented cross-border business cases in which they had successfully collaborated with other members of the Digital Practice on various levels. It was mentioned that the strong collaboration between the partners within the group is the core strength of Amrop – that it’s extremely helpful that partners are sharing recent cases, introducing one another with their competencies and being open and generous, which creates space for collaborations.
The most active part of the meeting followed in the form of a "speed-dating" session, where partners had short 1:1 talks about clients with international potential they could jointly approach. These fruitful exchanges have previously proved and keep demonstrating that the deep sectoral knowledge and local market expertise that the Digital Practice group members have, backed by global resources, are key to long-term partnerships.
JM Search, the strategic alliance firm of Amrop in the US, was represented in the Digital Practice meeting by Jamey Cummings, the IT, Cybersecurity and Risk Practice Partner, who talked about the report JM Search and Amrop had worked on together – on CIOs and CISOs Managing Tensions and Working Together Effectively. Cummings and Voorhoeve had spoken to a number of CIOs and CISOs in the US and Europe about their approach to managing these often-competing priorities and relationships, the ways of addressing the tensions, and the governance standards needed to ensure that a cybersecurity framework aligns with organizational goals and industry security requirements.
We then heard about Digitization Hub, the independent unique digital assessment tool, which has been developed by Voorhoeve exclusively for Amrop in executive search, and the workshop ended with everyone raising a glass of champagne celebrating the success of the practice and to honor the winner of the Digital PG Award 2024 – Ewa Baranek, our Partner at Amrop Polska, whom the group thanked for her contribution to the Digital Practice by her active participation in the PG Meetings, webinars, and publications.
Overall, the Digital Practice group meeting was a valuable and highly collaborative one, inspiring and empowering all group members to stay ahead of the curve in order to help organizations to pursue large-scale digital transformations. And it was fun too!
