#15 Driving Digital Adoption and Inclusive Leadership | Natalia Oropeza, Siemens Chief Cybersecurity Officer & Chief Diversity

How does cybersecurity help leaders to take more risk? How do you unite industry players to drive digitalization in an industry and increase digital adoption?  And how do you build a culture that allows each individual to unfold and contribute to innovation?

Natalia speaks on overcoming the fear of implementing digital products and services, how to increase adoption by building trust, and the inner work required to become an inclusive, industry leader. 

My Key take-aways and Learnings from Natalia:

1 Cybersecurity is complex and not easy to grasp: Educate your stakeholders by stepping into their shoes—ask more questions and listen—to understand their reality and to close the knowledge gap. 

2 Create a catchy, compelling value proposition to connect your stakeholder’s reality with cybersecurity or any digital service or solution and use storytelling to drive your message home. 

3 Think collaboration over competition: There’s no time to reinvent the wheel—partner up and collaborate! Focus on your strengths as you unite players to contribute under a common goal, and focus on small wins to spur momentum .

4 Build a culture of belonging for equity, social justice, and innovation:  The change starts within yourself. Inclusive leaders enhance satisfaction, and collaboration. This requires that we connect with our emotions, share our feelings, be honest to ourselves on our shortcomings, yet focus energy to build our strengths, and build trusting relationships with the people we work with through honest, respectful feedback.
