Optimizing business through digital transformation

icon hybrid format

 

This five-day program will be delivered in a blended format: Four full days at ESMT campus and a
pre- and post-program online session.

Digital business models drive growth and profitability, but not every digital transformation leads to success. To help you find the solutions that are adequate for your company or business unit, we have designed a program that will help you identify both the drivers of success and failure of this transformation process and respond to them accordingly.

Among other things, we will explore with you how this process affects your strategy, your operations, the work of your employees, and your customers, and how you can successfully manage these influences. You will familiarize yourself with the language of data analysts and discover how you can benefit from their expertise. You will learn which corporate culture promotes digital transformation and which inhibits it, and how to initiate change in this area by identifying the right potentials and enable employees to participate in the changes.

You will have the opportunity to discuss trends and technologies in the digital economy in detail with experts and prepare for possible innovations for your business. You will develop an implementation roadmap that will guide you on your digital way to success. You will stress test this plan with the help of both the expert faculty and your peers.
