Programme Overview
The digital age brings new challenges to leaders, managers and marketers. Organizations today face multiple changes in their culture, consumer behavior, competition, technology and market boundaries, making competitiveness an increasingly complex challenge in any industry. How do organizations need to respond to all these changes and the unprecedented growth of data? How does technological progress in the fields of AI, blockchain, big data and customer experience platforms challenge the nature of a firm and force incumbents and new entrants to rethink value creation and business model innovation in their business?

The Executive Diploma in Digital Transformation Strategy is for business leaders and senior managers from both the public & the private sector, who want to develop a successful strategic roadmap in their organization and to lead and seize opportunities in the digital age.
