About the Course
Although disruption has long been a threat for some industries, the rise of digital technologies has accelerated the pace of disruption in virtually every industry, creating immense ambiguity and unease. Meanwhile, uncertainty continues to accelerate in the broader business environment as the rate at which new technologies emerge increases exponentially - all while competition becomes increasingly fierce. The dominance of established leaders has never been more under threat.
This course addresses digital culture, innovations, and leadership aspects and thus tries to provide a well-rounded overview of the complexity of the phenomenon 'digital transformation’. The course also encourages participants to become drivers of change in their companies by developing new mindsets and behaviors within teams and departments. Through interactive and experiential learning, the course helps participants understand not only the “what” of digitalization but also the “how” of becoming an excellent leader for a digitalized future.
Learning Objectives
- Understand digital innovation and transformation
- Provide a new set of theories and frameworks for analyzing common management problems related to leading digital transformation
- Learn what a digital leader is: working with (big) data
