Gain distinctive insights on judgement and agency, and how our decisions make up the bigger picture in a tech-driven world.
Women Tech Leaders in Conversation is a special OLLMOO Career Café fireside chat format featuring candid conversations with senior women technology leaders who share the lessons, challenges and unwritten rules that shaped their careers.
Technology is constantly reshaping the media landscape and data infrastructures: how people find, trust or share information, and how institutions, businesses and communities understand the world around them. For leaders, this makes providing context arguably the most important part of the job.
In this fireside chat, Dr Romana Lanzerstorfer, Chief Data Officer (CDO) at the Austrian Parliament, brings a perspective from the intersection of institutional communication, digital governance and democratic discourse. She argues that an organisation’s digital agenda is particularly revealing of its future-oriented priorities. Drawing on her administration’s approach, she illustrates how those priorities are reflected in a commitment to transparency through Open Data - helping to create the conditions for informed public debate.
Whatever their field, the most impactful leaders are those who provide direction, never merely echoing familiar answers from others. They clearly convey what is at stake and set the course in terms that can be well understood across different professional backgrounds. This is not about applying the latest leadership formula. It is about remaining relevant in the years ahead: staying well informed when change is a constant; communicating with precision when interpretations diverge; and recognising the scope for action even when certainty is absent.
We will explore how cultivating sound judgement and a grounded sense of agency can strengthen both personal resilience and organisational strategy in a world where technology increasingly shapes how people connect and participate.
