Course Overview
Digital transformation is imperative for business success, but transformation can be unsettling for employees. Seamless change management is critical to getting your team’s buy-in, mitigating risk and creating a culture that enables sustainable change.
This Change Management for Digital Transformation online short course from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Advanced Computing for Executives (ACE) will enable you to best gauge your organisation’s preparedness for a digital change, and plan for it in a way that considers and manages its impact on all stakeholders. Over six weeks, you’ll gain a robust framework to help you identify areas of your business that require change management, and analyse the organisational and people-related risk areas brought about by digital transformation.
On completion of this course, you’ll walk away with a tailored digital transformation change plan to successfully manage and sustain change in your company and increase buy-in at the individual, team and organisational level.

Next, you’ll learn how to develop a change plan for a digital project within your business, and evaluate its change metrics and key performance indicators. Finally, you’ll leave the course with a digital culture plan to help you sustain change in your organisation.
