Digital Sovereignty

Beskrivelse

Digital power is reshaping the world, and with it comes new vulnerabilities. As Denmark and Europe embrace digitalization, they face risks from critical services controlled beyond their borders. This book dives into why digital sovereignty is crucial-not just a tech issue, but a strategic necessity.

Understanding and managing digital dependence is key to maintaining freedom and resilience in a digital world.

Digital Sovereignty offers a fresh perspective for management and boards on the challenges of digital dependence and how to regain control. It introduces a digital dependency score that highlights and quantifies supplier reliance, alongside a five-level maturity model guiding organizations from reactive choices to continuous improvement.

Through scenario analysis, the book translates these concepts into practical preparation strategies. It tackles questions like: What steps should be taken if access to digital services is suddenly limited? How can companies brace for geopolitical shocks that threaten their digital infrastructure?

While aimed at IT departments, businesses, and boards, the book also dedicates a chapter to the public sector. It explores the paradox of being highly digitalized yet lacking sovereignty over critical digital assets.

The author, Jan Damsgaard, a professor at Copenhagen Business School, is a leading voice on the crossroads of technology, business, and geopolitics. Drawing on extensive research and advisory experience, he breaks down complex digital market dynamics into actionable strategies. His goal is to transform digital sovereignty from a vague concept into a concrete, strategic management project-empowering organizations to control their dependencies before those dependencies control them.
