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;
