The sports industry, like every other industry, is faced with new challenges everyday and current structures and ways of working are not sufficient to generate value in an increasingly disruptive environment.
This module in Technology in Sports covers two verticals– Digital transformation in sports and Innovation in sports. Through the course, you will have a better understanding about digital transformation, the importance of it, how to implement it, and you will be able to deep dive into real life case studies and explore how sports organisations can explore new revenue streams through digital.
In the innovation vertical, you will acquire practical knowledge about what innovation actually means, how to set up and implement innovation strategy from A to Z, and how to measure innovation.

ESEI uses the project-based learning and assessment methodology across all modules taught in our master programs. This means that you will work together in groups to develop projects that require creativity, team work, and problem-solving skills.
The main benefit of Project-Based Learning is that by the time you graduate, you will essentially have a portfolio of work to show which will be directly applicable to what you’ll be doing as a future employee or business owner.
It’s up to the teacher to decide on the format of the project – it can be a case study, a written report, a video, a role-playing activity, a podcast, or any other kind of media that gets your point across. The teachers create the project briefs and oversee the progress that teams are making week after week with regular check-in points.
