As we enter our 20th year, the team at Digital Aurora continues to deepen its focus on developing technology leaders for the digital age.   For 2025, our research series focus is on data ecosystems as innovation engines and rethinking the knowledge economy. 

Shaping future technology leaders: rethinking the knowledge economy

Based on our founder’s 40+ years of leading and advising global technology organizations and mentoring c-suite bound executives, the Shaping Future Technology Leaders Research Series is designed to help prepare our clients to anticipate the challenges inherent when introducing disruptive technology into established enterprises and industries. We work with our clients to develop the experiences for their emerging leaders to equip them to excel in using influence as a means to effect change.  We explore how leadership in knowledge-based organizations can embrace the counterintuitive view that a digital minimalist mindset is a critical aspect of pursuing successful digital first operating model.  We also explore the role of effective communications to address the issues of workplace isolation caused by technology and why it is important when building and running teams in the digital era.   And we challenge today’s notions for measuring success with frameworks to assess the potential impact of digital initiatives before they launch.   This series is available by annual subscription to a select number of clients and includes access to our position papers, monthly leadership letter, and participation in our invitation only workshops.

Real World Data Strategy: data ecosystems as innovation engines

Our approach to data strategy stresses the importance of bringing an ecosystem mindset into its development.  Centered on our real world data strategy thought leadership, we have a clear view of the landscape of use cases and data sources across Neurophysiology, Cell Therapy, Rheumatology, Oncology, Autoimmune/Immunology, Cardiovascular, and Health Equity.  Our research runs deep on emerging designs, technology, and governance of real world evidence ecosystems.  This includes healthcare data research networks, platform architectures, advanced analytics and data science capabilities, data strategies, and partnership development. We also pursue the concept of Ecosystem Architecture and the importance of putting the enterprise data strategy into the broader market context.  This research series is available by annual subscription and includes access to our therapeutic area data landscape reports, position papers, and monthly horizon scan letters.
