Learning to Set the Right Pace is a Key to Digital Development – Gillis Associates

Visionary leadership is highly valued in any setting. Even more valued are visionary leaders who articulate a pragmatic path forward to achieve that vision. In the case of digital development, that pragmatic path includes having a good handle on the pace at which change can realistically take place.

Setting realistic expectations is essential to maximize performance whether the objective is a running race or advancing access and use of digital technologies. Setting expectations too high will ultimately result in frustration and quickly a loss of motivation to continue. Setting expectations too low can result in progress, but will not maximize your potential. It is important to get it right up-front.

For a local leadership organization seeking to advance their community’s economic future, that means taking a careful look at:

How available is local broadband service today?

How ready is the community to take advantage of digital technologies?
