Course Overview

Digital transformation is not an option or choice; it is a destiny for all organisations, and it is not anymore about big eats small anymore, but it becomes about fast eats slow. Digital Strategy is not enough, new emerging digital technologies capabilities and new transformation and digital mindset and culture are crucial to execute.

The evolution from paper-based to electronic processes and now to digital is part of the natural change which is happening across all industries.

As it was impossible for an organisation to continue operating with papers without using computers, the Internet and electronic forms in the late 20th century, it is now impossible for organisations to survive and succeed without moving into a digital economy in this century. 

Digital transformation is the mechanism to move to the next level of the evolution by leveraging the new emerging digital technologies and identifying new digital business models to create new values of products/services, prices, customer experiences and platforms. Every organisation must adopt the digital transformation to create the market disruption otherwise it will be disrupted by competitors and, ultimately, might be put out of business – which is exactly what happened with Nokia, Blackberry, Kodak and many others.

Digital Transformation will be executed through new digital business models built upon new emerging digital technologies. Data Analytics, Big Data, AI, IOT, IIOT, Smart Cities, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity and Blockchain will be deeply explained 

This course will let delegates understand the true meaning of digital transformation. They will learn and think about the strategy and execution of digital transformation and the necessary elements to succeed. Delegates will be exposed to the Mindset, Execution, Transformation, Regulations, Innovation, Customer and Strategy (METRICS) approach and the clear structured roadmap of digital transformation. Case studies will be presented and workshop about your business exploring opportunities and challenges will be conducted.
