Course provides a high level summary of how to disrupt with innovative technology. But it would be more useful to cover less ground and get into details of fewer ideas.

Super Clear and the exercises are designed well; It'll be better if the last few lessons be illustrated with more cases, instead of just presenting the theories

I thoroughly enjoyed this unit and learnt so much about the impact and how we use technology. I chose this topic because it is an area I know little about and should know more about!

As an HR practitioner/lecturer, this unit highlighted to me the value that HR practice can add to businesses to ensure that through managing people and culture, organisations can be supported to be disruptive

Thank you Mauricio, so professional, prepared and engaging - I loved every moment!
