Kursusindhold
The focus of this course is an overview of the key capabilities and technologies that make up the theme “Digital Transformation”. In this course, participants will survey a broad range of analytics, automation, artificial intelligence technologies and their application to business. We will outline the impact of these technologies on organizations through the discussion of specific examples and case studies. We will specifically focus on the improvement of operations and customer experiences through service design and intelligent automation technologies.

The Case Study format provides participants with the opportunity to contextualize digital technologies in familiar organizational settings. The case studies in this course address questions ranging from strategic business model changes that are enabled by digital technologies to service design improvements that are the result of automation and decision technologies. We will place particular emphasis on efficiency improvements through digital technology, and the “Digital Exhaust” that these technologies enable. The VA case study presents participants with a challenging managerial environment, which will serve as a testbed for many of the techniques and approaches discussed elsewhere.

Participants will be asked to identify salient processes in their area of business that can be reimagined using state of the art technologies. Through transfer exercises (e.g., “What would happen if Company X was managing our client onboarding process?”) participants are challenged to rethink existing business practices and review the data estate of their specific business function.
