The ‘digital transformation’ of organizations has become an important objective for IT and non-IT executives as they struggle to develop and deploy creative strategies to preserve and grow shareholder value while remaining agile and innovative to counter new, unanticipated threats enabled by information technologies.
Fundamentally, organizations aspire to be customer-centric, nimble, digitally connected, highly profitable organizations that can compete in a dynamic environment of new digitally-enabled ‘disruptors’ to their business models
IT and non-IT professionals as well as business management consultants and service providers will derive significant value from the courses in this certificate as the courses will enable them to become more capable agents of business IT transformational change. Business Management Consultants are ‘high demand’ professionals who are required to work as ‘trusted advisors’ to business and IT leadership. Business Management Consultants must have a deep understanding of the best practices, tools, techniques, frameworks and disciplines that will enhance their analyses of the organization’s strategic situation and their recommendations for transformation to an innovative ‘digital company’, requiring heavy interaction with their IT and non-IT clients.
As agents of transformational change, Business Management Consultants collaborate closely with business and IT leadership to enable organizations to:
- Do The Right Thing (The Strategy Question)
- Do It the Right Way (The Process Architecture Question)
- Get It Done Well (The Organizational Alignment Question)
- Get Value from Transformation (The Value Question)
The intended audience for this certificate is business and IT management consultants and service providers that wish to develop or enhance the skills of a business management consulting staff or mid-senior IT and non-IT managers in organizations (or individuals) who wish to make a career transition to business management consulting and digital transformation.
