The sports industry, like every other industry, is faced with new challenges every day 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 of digital transformation, its importance of it, and how to implement it, and you will be able to deep dive into real-life case studies and explore how sports organizations 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 employs a project-based learning and assessment methodology across all modules taught in our master programmes. This innovative approach means students collaborate in groups to develop projects that demand creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities.
The primary advantage of this method is that by the time students graduate, they will have compiled a portfolio of work. This portfolio will be directly relevant to their future roles, whether as employees or business owners, showcasing their hands-on experience and skills.
Project formats vary and are at the discretion of the instructor. Projects can take the form of case studies, written reports, videos, role-playing activities, podcasts, or any other medium that effectively communicates the students’ ideas. Teachers are responsible for creating project briefs and monitoring team progress with regular updates and check-ins.
Projects will be evaluated based on group and individual contributions, as well as the presentation and subsequent Q&A session, highlighting the importance of both collective and personal efforts in achieving project objectives.
A significant portion of the grade, 20%, is determined by students’ engagement and participation in class, reflecting the value placed on active involvement and contribution to the learning environment.
