At the same time, digital transformation is a very broad field: many people have thoughts and ideas about what it means and what affects a company’s ability to transform. Questions such as: what is meant by digital transformation? What opportunities does digital transformation create? Is technology the only aspect to consider? What obstacles need to be overcome? What needs to be in place? These are all questions that need to be addressed and managed. The course is based on these questions.

Learn to create conditions

The course also has a broad impact by focusing on a number of key business dimensions (e.g. strategy, culture, workers, customers), all of which require a conscious and focused effort to take advantage of the opportunities created by new technical solutions. The course delves into these business dimensions separately, but also provides an understanding of how they have to interact in order to create the best possible conditions for a successful digital transformation.

After completing the course, you will be able to:

• explain and compare key concepts related to digitalisation and digital transformation,
• explain and discuss the opportunities created by increased digitalisation, as well as the obstacles that can adversely impact an industrial company’s digital transformation,
• explain and discuss key business dimensions affecting digital transformation; and
• on the basis of the key business dimensions, analyse and reflect how far your own business has come in its digital transformation.
