<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">The IRIS seminar dates to 1978 and is a well-established community where you can build and sustain your Scandinavian IS network.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">IRIS is famous for its informal and egalitarian (= Scandinavian) atmosphere where it is easy to present and discuss your research. All papers are discussed in a working group and have been read by the other
group members beforehand. Hence there are no long presentations followed by a short discussion; most of the time dedicated to your paper (45 - 60 minutes) will be used for feedback and discussion in your working group.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Furthermore, every author submitting a paper is automatically signed up for acting as reviewer for 2-3 other papers.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">While most participants are from the Nordic countries, we welcome researchers from all parts of the world to the conference, bringing along and delivering other than the Nordic perspectives on IS into the discussion.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">The Thirteenth Scandinavian Conference on Information Systems (SCIS) is held in conjunction with IRIS. SCIS is a more traditional and formal conference with proceedings and presentations in the 'classic' way.
The two conferences are seen as a full package meaning that participants register and participate in both events.</span></p>

<div class="">Workforce Leadership in the Age of Digital Transformation</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Digitalization is changing the world. Information systems (IS), software applications and other technologies take central stage in this change. They enable new working practices and processes, new services and business models and prompts many opportunities
and challenges (Newell et al., 2020). Individuals, organizations, and societies respond to those changes, with new and innovative ways of doing things (Vial, 2019; Baskerville et al., 2020). In sum, several phenomena are being reassessed in terms of how they
are increasingly shaped by digital technologies, i.e., become digital (Baskerville et al. 2020). When seizing digital opportunities, leaders are increasingly required to focus on their workforce in terms of well-being, flexibility, autonomy, meaningful work, life-balance
and flatter organizational structures (Trenerry et al., 2020, Passmore et al., 2019). As we move toward platform based eco-systems and a network based economy of gig-workers using artificial intelligence to make decisions, 3-D printing and robotics to manufacture
products, and cloud based capabilities, how we lead in the age of digital transformation and simultaneously address the technical and social aspects of organizations becomes even more important (Passmore et al., 2019). How to motivate, engage and take good
care of the workforce will take center stage in successful digital transformation.<br class="">
<br class="">
We believe that the IS-research community is well equipped to come up with answers and insights in this - in nature - sociotechnical landscape (Sarker et al., 2019; Clemmensen & Bjørn-Andersen, 2017). The theme of the 13th Scandinavian Conference of Information
Systems and 45th IRIS is thus: Workforce Leadership in the Age of Digital Transformation.<br class="">
<br class="">
We seek research that address the opportunities, challenges and long-term implications. This could potentially cover how organizational hierarchies are overturned and replaced with flatter and distributed agile frameworks, or how absorptive capacity and self-management are
being implemented. It could also engage with how flexibility, innovative capabilities and performance is improved or orchestrated and how technostress, resistance and digital fatigue is approached. </div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">SCIS/IRIS has a tradition of cross-disciplinarity, openness, and inclusion. We therefore welcome a plurality of voices and themes that engage with our theme and seek to construct new insights and explanations. We solicit rigorous qualitative
and/or quantitative empirical studies as well as conceptual contributions that expand on or call into question existing conceptions of leadership in digital transformation. We also welcome submissions that engage with surfacing the substantial new questions
and challenges that digital transformation entails. In line with the SCIS/IRIS tradition, we also welcome papers that target general IS topics.</p>
