FAQ
Digital Transformation is the process of using digital technologies to create new or different business processes, products, and services. It can be used to improve the efficiency of an organization, create new revenue streams, or reduce costs. It can also be used to transform how an organization interacts with its customers or employees. It is not a closed process: it is an open, ever-evolving, and dynamic one, which requires an adaptative mindset. Therefore, it is a key skill to thrive in the Digital Economy and to embrace change.
This digital transformation master, in comparison with other programmes, offers you a hands-on approach where you will be able to apply digital transformation strategies to existing corporate structures and processes. The majority of the programmes you will see elsewhere have a more abstract approach, covering topics such as digital marketing or fintech in a generalised way. Here you will apply a digital transformation straetgy in a company (present or future) of your choice, which is actually what the Final Master Project is all about!
