SPRING SEMESTER
Digital transformation isn’t about a business employing all the latest technologies on the market; it is about optimising the value delivered to customers by applying technologies that empower companies and customers. The Covid-19 crisis provided an opportunity for the business ecosystem to put brewing strategies of digital transformation in practise, and we have seen both the strengthening of existing digital transformation technologies and the emergence of new technologies. In this module, students will be introduced to the top digital transformation trends and technologies of today, including: Big Data and Analytics, Internet of Things and 5G, Mobile, Augmented Reality, AI and Machine Learning, Cloud Technology and more.
Data is the engine to business success in today’s digital economy; businesses must use data in their business processes in order to fuel digital business transformation. This module takes students through how this is done and for what benefit, ultimately gaining insight into how a data-driven business means better results in the form of improved customer (and employee) engagement and value, optimized business processes and enhanced business metrics. Students will learn how a company can: enhance opportunity for data collection; analyse, understand, manage, govern and optimize data it already has (in a sustainable and ethical way); create a data-driven culture and integrate data into business processes and their core business model. The course will also introduce students to the basics of data analytics.
