Structure
Find out how the program is structured and what content you can expect.

Due to the overall character of digital transformations and taking into account the requirement of concrete role responsibilities in the company, a targeted combination of several modules is recommended as an effective training measure.

Below you will find five recommendations for an optimal combination of modules, depending on the position and area of responsibility. However, each module is self-contained and can be booked in addition to each track or separately. The order of the modules in the track does not necessarily have to be followed.

Goals of the topic-focused tracks

Based on an overall understanding of digital transformation in terms of its programme characteristics, design elements and modes of action, participants learn in this topic-specific track …

Track 1: The relevant concepts and methods with regard to the conception, planning and management of a digital transformation, including new working and management methods, which are to be established in the company in the long term and initiate an ongoing change process.

Track 2: How, by means of a consistently developed digital strategy, the necessary steps for operational implementation and accompanying cultural adaptation can be planned, designed and implemented, which are essential for corporate change.

Track 3: How digitalization affects the design of customer, business and support processes, which adjustments to structures and processes result from this and what is expected from IT in particular. Based on this, methods and approaches are taught to plan and control the necessary adjustments to IT support and IT architectures.

Track 4: Which special features result from this for finance and controlling and how those responsible for this can both appropriately map and support this company-wide adjustment process.

Track 5: How customer and business processes can be specifically redesigned and optimised using digital technologies, which adjustments result from this, which new working and management models should be taken into account and how the cultural change in action and thinking must be accompanied by communication.
