They are lagging behind in digitalising their businesses as they are trapped with old corporate IT management mindset,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Executives are focused on programme plans, budgets and projects\u00a0but lack the \u201cdigital spark\u201d on how to best use technology to gain a more competitive edge, according to Tappin. They also often lack the entrepreneurial speed and cut through to deliver this edge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany boards are wary about recruiting these typically younger digital rebels on to their board but without them they could fall victim to one. My sense is this has been overture for a couple of years but in 2015 the digital cracks will become more visible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Article from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrmagazine.co.uk\"
