Thedigital transformation is an ongoing change process thataffects people, organizations, and societies over the decade tocome and holds great opportunities for companies and individuals.Drivers of digital transformation are smart, mobile, analytics,cloud, IoT and other digital technologies and their underlyinginformation technology (IT) infrastructures. IT and digitaltechnology can disrupt existing value chains and enable newbusiness models, leading to value generation potentials across allmajor industries.
While many courses at CBS address digital transformation purelyfrom strategy or business angles, this course addresses thetechnologymanagement side of digitaltransformation. First of all, we build on the premise that digitaltransformation is the logical continuation of a trend that startedover 20 years ago, in which IT and digital technology turned from acommodity, often regarded as a cost factor, to a strategic asset.If we understand this past, we can understand the future:
Digital transformation is not a one-off endeavor. Companiestransform continously through several major and minor digitalinitiatives affecting both their front-end applications and backendinfrastructures. IT functions, headed by the CIO (the ChiefInformation Officer), have become the experts for drivingbusiness process change in the organization and maturing thedigital enterprise architecture. The IT function acts as thelinking pin between business units, corporate management, andexternal service providers to make sure that adequate IT servicedelivery is in place that can let digital initiatives thrive. Atthe same time, companies have appointed CDOs (Chief DigitalOfficers) and other roles to push their digital transformationforward on the demand side.
