Digital transformation is not about IT; it is about the business, first and foremost.
To thrive while facing digital disruption, leaders must reinvent their companies again and again. How do you transform an established business so it can adapt and grow in the age of digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI)? By engaging your own people at every level and every function of the business.
Under the direction of David Rogers, acclaimed author and C-suite advisor, this executive education program takes a holistic approach to digital transformation—one that focuses on both strategy and organizational change—and addresses mindset and process as much as technology and data.
The Leading Digital Transformation program takes participants behind the scenes of companies that are getting digital transformation right and driving real business results. It introduces a series of strategic planning tools which participants use—working together in small teams—as they apply the concepts of the program to the transformation of their own organizations. Participants leave this program with a first actionable draft of their own DX roadmap.
For a look at the faculty’s thought leadership, we invite you to download the first chapter of David Rogers’ new book, The Digital Transformation Roadmap: Rebuild Your Organization for Continuous Change.
