Programme Overview

Digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI) transformation is about the adoption of innovative technologies to meet business goals. But with the business world today charged with soaring volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, business leaders require additional skills in both augmenting the business with relevant digital technology and uncovering and delivering value from these digital assets through effective digital and AI operations.

However, the majority of the digital and AI transformation efforts in large organisations are failing today at an alarming rate, as the gap between aspiration and reality is never addressed in such a major endeavour. The basic causes of these undesirable outcomes boil down to three factors: the alignment of goals and value between business and IT, the lack of competencies in deploying these cutting-edge technologies, and the failure to adopt and scale these initiatives over a long period. This professional certificate focuses on the Digital and AI transformation imperatives and how organisations can avoid these three common pitfalls.

Key concepts, best practices, processes, and frameworks in Digital and AI operations through a transformative effort are the key takeaways of this course. It is designed with ample individual hands-on and group learning to solidify the understanding of the various digital and AI technologies widely used, and pre-eminently by organisations that have embarked on the transformation journey with stories of successes and failures. The programme is taught by industry practitioners who have in past decades led these strategic imperatives in global Fortune 500 companies.
