Overview

For the past decade, many industries (including government) have been transformed by digital technology. Businesses across the board are concerned about being disrupted by technology.

This programme focuses on Information Technology (IT) trends, digital transformation strategies, and organisational change management. It aims to provide participants with the understanding needed to leverage the latest IT trends for business transformation. During the course, participants will work on an outline of their organisation’s digital transformation strategy, which they can apply within their own organisation.

Participants will also be equipped with a methodology to build and implement a digital transformation strategy, addressing not only technology but also business processes and organisational change. This, in turn, is intended to enhance participants' ability to deliver strategic value to their organisation or improve their prospects in the job market.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the 2-day programme, participants will be able to:

  • Understand key technology trends, their use cases, and best practices
  • Propose digital business transformation strategies to help organisations gain a competitive advantage
  • Apply change management best practices in a business setting and be an effective business change agent

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by SMU Academy.
