What you'll learn
Digital transformation is a mega-trend changing how governments, organisations and individuals live and work around the world.
Referred to sometimes as Industry 4.0 or the second machine age, the macro-process of digital transformation is disrupting the status quo of organizational performance across sectors. At the confluence of cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, digital transformation is unlocking new sources of value creation, efficiency and competition.
Consequently, digital transformation now features at the top of the priority list of both opportunities and threats for organisational leaders. However, strategic responses remain highly varied as management teams struggle to understand and harness the possibilities of digital transformation.
This course aims to prepare the student to contribute to or lead organisational responses to digital transformation. It will build student capacity to respond to key questions such as “What are the characteristics and implications of digital transformation as a mega trend?” “What are the strategic implications for organisations of digital transformation?” “How should organisational change and technological innovation feature in digital transformation initiatives?” and “How can we appraise the readiness of organisations to respond to digital transformation?”
This course will be of relevance to students with interests in strategy, innovation and (digital) technology. Students will have practical skills in appraising digital transformation readiness by the end of the course.
