Implement and accelerate your organization’s digital transformation
Digital transformation has become a necessity, yet research suggests that 87% of digital transformation initiatives fail to meet expectations. If you’ve been tasked with implementing your organization’s digital transformation, you need to be aware of the pitfalls you will inevitably encounter and be familiar with experience-based best practices.
IMD’s Digital Transformation in Practice program provides practical solutions to concrete digital implementation challenges. It enables you to accelerate and take the risk out of digital transformation by drawing on real-world experiences. This program is based on a decade of research on digital transformation and hundreds of interviews with business leaders.
At the end of the program, you will have a clear mental roadmap of the main challenges you will face and a toolbox of actionable solutions.
You can take this program as a stand-alone course or as part of the IMD Executive Certificate in Digital Business Excellence or the IMD Online Executive Certificate.
