Digital transformation takes more than technology. It depends on people with the right skills, the necessary resources, changes to how the organisation is structured, and a plan for both change management and the transformation itself. The course covers how to plan, implement, and monitor a digital transformation strategy, and what technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, blockchain, cloud computing, and big data mean in practice.

Managers and leaders who want to succeed in the digital economy
Anyone responsible for transforming how the organisation operates through digital technologies
IT professionals and consultants who want to strengthen their knowledge of digital design and strategy in support of the organisation's digital transformation work
C-suite executives in digital, information, marketing, and IT roles who want to understand how digital technologies can be used to transform business processes
