Digital Innovation and Transformation

Agile Digital Transformation Roadmapping

Digital transformation fails when it is treated as a one-off IT project. This course shows leaders how to build an agile transformation roadmap: assessing digital maturity, defining outcomes, prioritising initiatives, funding work in increments, organising teams around value and adjusting the plan as evidence emerges.
