Digital Transformation Master: Harness AI to Stay Competitive and Thrive

Our Digital Transformation Master will help you reshape your business and your mindset through innovation. In this programme you will devise and implement cross-cutting innovative strategies in your business so that you can stay competitive and thrive in the digital economy.

Innovation is not an option. If you can’t live up to today’s rapidly changing business landscape, you will stagnate, lose your competitive edge and fall behind in your market. The result? You’ll become sluggish and see change as an uphill battle, being unable to adapt, shying away from risks and losing confidence along the way.

So choose to be the leader of the (business) pack! Invest in yourself with this digital transformation master and put your company ahead of the game by embracing change and harnessing disruptive technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Technologies, IoT, Blockchain, and more.

Our professors, seasoned business professionals, will guide you along your journey, and will support you developing a digital transformation project for a company of your choice. You’re either a leader or a laggard: choose the former to stay young and stand out!

FAQ
What is Digital Transformation?

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.

Why should I choose this Digital Transformation Master?

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!

Do I need a technical background to access this Digital Transformation Master?

No, you don't need a technical background to enroll. Whether you are a tech expert, an enthusiast, or just a beginner or early adopter of technology, this Master's will give you relevant strategies depending on your particular case and the business you are developing or want to develop. In other words, we'll give you the innovative tools you need depending on where you are and where you want to be.
