What will I learn?

Achieving digital transformation is essential in modern business. It is the successful adoption of digital technologies by an organization to improve the customer experience or to introduce a new business model. The International Data Corporation estimates that annual spending on digital transformation will grow to $2.3 trillion a year by 2023 worldwide.

In 2018, Gartner, a global research and advisory firm, asked 460 CEOs to name their organization’s top five business priorities over the coming two years: 62% cited a need to undergo a digital transformation.

Digital transformation is a complex undertaking, full of challenges, including internal opposition. It can be costly in workforce and capital expenditure, so getting transformation right is crucial. 

Here you can access the article on our blog - What is Digital Transformation and Why it is Essential in Today’s Rapidly Changing Marketplace?

Whether you are a senior leader, a mid-career executive, or looking to develop a new career in digital transformation, this program will prove essential. 

By the end of this path, students will have learned, applied, and mastered the key skills behind a digital transformation. They will be able to:

  • Win support for a digital transformation project.
  • Structure data collection to become a data-driven organization.
  • Describe the potential of disruptive technologies (IoT, blockchain, cloud, robotics, IA...).
  • Lead an overhaul of the skills needed by the people in an organization.
  • Reinvent business models that are redefining value creation and customer relationships.

These fundamental skills underpin the success of any digital transformation project. 

If you want to learn more about the subject before going any further, you can also watch an introductory course on the OpenClassrooms platform on digital transformation — Drive Digital Transformation Programs and Projects.

How does this training program work?

In order to earn the OpenClassrooms Certificate, learners will need to submit five hands-on projects. All of the instructional materials needed to complete the projects are provided in the courses produced by OpenClassrooms.

Learners will receive one-on-one mentorship sessions with practicing professionals experienced in leading digital transformation.

This path can help you better understand your current job as a manager and leader in a fast-paced digital environment — whatever field you work in (product, finance, marketing, data, tech, HR...).

This path can prepare you for the following jobs:

  • Innovation project manager
  • Chief innovation officer
  • Digital transformation officer
  • Chief digital officer
  • Change manager
  • Head of digital change / change management

Why invest in your education about digital transformation now?

A wide range of disruptive, technologies including AI, the cloud, IoT, blockchain, robotics, machine learning, and more, have altered the balance of power between organizations and their customers. This has created both threats and opportunities. 

Emerging technologies have changed the playing field, bringing about a new wave of "challengers" that are claiming market share from traditional giants. 

Senior leaders need to be aware of the stakes involved in digital transformation and lead their company in the right direction. They need to be able to identify opportunities throughout their organization, recognize challenges, and set priorities once they commit to transformation initiatives. Along with understanding what it will take to transform from within, they need to understand the marketplace and how their company stacks up against the competition. They also need to absorb best practices, even when they’ve been defined outside their own industry.  Finally, leaders have to be able to create a culture that promotes change throughout the company as a whole. 

Mid-career executives and digital transformation consultants help convince leadership to allocate resources to the right projects, oversee the roll-out of change management strategies within the company, and regularly report on their outcomes.
