Leadership Prospectus

About the leadership prospectus

We’re developing a new professional learning offer that will build leadership capability across the public and third sectors. The prospectus will bring our leadership offer into a single place.

The pathway illustrates a series of short courses, courses and programmes that have been designed to draw out leadership attributes within the context of the DDaT (Digital, Data and Technology) Profession. Although intended to be progressive, each offer stands in it’s own right and can be accessed independently of the others. Some may have eligibility criteria for registration.

Information for Civil Servants!

The leadership prospectus is aligned to the Scottish Government Leadership Framework and you do not need to be a member of the DDaT Profession to participate.

What progress have we made?

This workstream forms part of the Scottish Government Digital Programme and is now in alpha, which means we’re building prototypes and validating early versions of the prospectus. You can now register for the pilot cohorts for Digital Leadership Essentials and for the SCS Digital Ambassador Programme.

Background context

We help leaders to realise their digital potential and to change their organisation. From supporting strategic transformation to mastering personal visions of digital leadership, we enable them to inspire, guide and galvanize, releasing the full and diverse capability of all their people to be change-makers.

The Leadership Prospectus will allow leaders to select professional learning that meets their current needs and helps them think about future development opportunities, as they lead their teams to deliver public services in an increasingly digital world. The courses and programmes in the prospectus encourage leaders to design services with their users in mind, whilst practicing system leadership and an entrepreneurial approach. The prospectus is focused on helping leaders to deliver effectively and efficiently – to achieve more with less waste of resources.

Further information

Some courses and programmes are available now. For internal colleagues, a new programme is being developed for the senior civil service and will be available in the Autumn, with an online short course available in the Spring.
