Learn how to make the digital transformation vision you have for your business a reality.

This engaging two-day course looks at what might be impeding your organisation’s digital transformation strategy or large IT/technology projects that have been recently implemented.

Approaching digital transformation from a change management perspective, we look at digital transformation's people, structure, and processes elements. We also pay special attention to the role of leadership in the success of large technology projects and help participants plan a path towards increasing the digital leadership within the organisation.

What will you gain?

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the change management principles that inhibit and drive the success of digital initiatives;
• Evaluate the digital leadership capabilities in your organisation, and develop a plan to increase the digital capabilities and positive mindset towards new technologies in the organisation;
• Develop a strategy to increase buy-in from the people element in the organisation. This includes all key stakeholders;
• Understand how technology initiatives impact the organisation's structure, using examples from case studies or your organisation; and
• Understand how technology initiatives impact the processes in the organisation, using examples from case studies or your organisation.

Course structure

The two-day course runs on consecutive days and uses case studies and examples from the class.
