Digital Transformation
Foundations
A self-paced online course that provides an overview of the latest digital technologies, the benefits for organisations and specifically SMEs by engaging with digital transformation, and frameworks and approaches that can be used for effective organisational change.
Only about 30% of companies navigate digital transformation successfully. As is the case with all transformation projects, in order to be successful, organisations need to ensure that are effective, sustainable, and that they maintain a clear path to the desired benefits for the organisation, namely developing new products or services, designing improved processes, and improving customer experience.
Research suggests that implementing digital transformation projects and approaches to address new business challenges, organisations need to develop new skills, to embed within their structures new behaviours and culture, and to evolve while at high speed.
This self-paced online course provides an overview of digital transformation,
models and frameworks
that can be used and referred to to gain a more holistic view of the task in hand. The course further builds on specific technologies to ensure that learners have a good understanding of the latest technologies.
The course puts a particular emphasis on SMEs and discusses and considers their many advantages and challenges they face when engaging with digital transformation and outlines some general strategies for success.
Through the use of quizzes and case studies it allows learners to quickly embed knowledge and to be ready to apply it with confidence in their work environment.
