Designed for leaders focused on implementing new ideas, staying ahead of the competition and aligning their people, data and technology to drive digital transformation. First, we discuss the pace of change, and its impact, implications and opportunities. Traditional businesses need to rethink their underlying assumptions to create new game plans and capture new opportunities in the digital world. This course not only discusses key digital transformation strategies, trends and impacts, but also spends time on how to integrate these into your existing business, and execute on those new game plans. This module’s lessons focus on understanding the concept and forces behind digital transformation. Students will learn to define digital transformation and provide examples, explore the forces driving it and their impacts, and delve into how digital transformation drives convergence, disruption, and strategy. They will also gain insights into technology and knowledge convergence, the phases of disruption, and a strategic framework for digital transformation.
