The «Digital Disruption» course will start in March 4th 2021. You can register only for this course, or for several courses that are part of the Certification Program of Technology Management.
The «Digital Disruption» course is the third in the Certification program. In this course we will explore the forces driving disruption in today’s business environment, such as accelerated pace of technology innovation, changes in consumer behaviour and expectations, new business and engagement models, etc. We will work through a framework to discover opportunities for disruption in an enterprise (i.e., asset/system/ecosystem analysis, ten types of innovation) and define transformation opportunities via digital agility.
