Digital Transformation of Business

Course Objective

The digital revolution has influenced every industry, and nowadays, there is a digital element in every aspect of the business. Every business that has begun before the Internet now faces the same challenge on how to transform to compete in this digital economy. The rules of business have changed. The traditional companies need to rethink their underlying assumptions about Customers, Competition, Data, Innovation, and Value. Therefore, almost every company aspires to innovate, digitize, and transform their business, but most lack the digital transformation management expertise. Digital transformation of business is a complex process that requires the core leadership and all the company's C-suite to be completely involved. All CXOs must break down silos between departments and lead the future digital initiatives together.
