In today’s fast-moving digital economy, we see a constant flow of innovations, disruptive business models and sometimes chaos that are transforming the businesses in many industries, even faster than they can ever imagine. 

Digital Agility refers to the ability of an organisation and its leaders to optimise the use of digital enablers to respond rapidly to unpredictable changes as well as seize new opportunities in the market environment. Digital Agility is the key to accelerating Digital Transformation and such disruptive transformation will not be successful without an effective Digital Change Leadership.

The course will focus on how Digital Leaders develop strategic decisions and build capabilities to increase Digital Agility to compete within an existing business, expanding to new business areas or even enabling far-sighted pioneering agility that exploits technology to pioneer new industry initiatives successfully.

Through this course, participants will also learn what it takes to be effective change leaders with the abilities to build the right alignment on people-culture, mindset, organisational structure, new ways of working and stakeholder management as they plan and execute digital transformation for their business.

Application should be submitted at least 1 month before the start of each class.
