Managing Strategic Digital Transformations

Course Description

Change as a constant has never been more real than with digital transformations. Digital transformation is a hot topic—but what exactly is it, and what does it mean for 21st-century leaders? This course discusses the exponential rate at which technology changes and creates an imperative for organizations to deconstruct their value chain to gain a competitive advantage. This course will explore how four technologies: elastic cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things are fundamentally changing how business and government will operate. While this profound and fast-moving transformation happens, today's leaders should learn how to use change frameworks to survive and thrive in the new digital landscape. This course will explore emerging trends and technologies and possible future by covering vital external drivers of digital transformation. In this course, we will also cover approaches for change frameworks, planning and managing strategic transformations in the total enterprise, including leadership, processes, structures, and culture; exploring how forms of organizing change are linked to various competitive strategies and performance; and building skills for designing, implementing, and managing strategic transformations. High-level guest speakers from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc., will be key features of this newly designed course.
