Content

This course is designed as an action learning experience team-taught by two academic facilitators. During the sessions, we will consider core themes, including value creation in digital environments, the influence of digital tech trends on organisational strategy, and the challenges and opportunities for born-digital as well as incumbent businesses. We will delve into the always-on and connected consumer and behavioural traits to explore new-age customer aspirations. You will gain experience of designing and evaluating dynamic digital journeys that lead to disruptive innovation and competitive realignment of organisations. As a method of learning, we will examine several organisations to illuminate and highlight how they respond and adapt to fast evolving digital environments. To help you analyse how organisations are transforming to take advantage of new digital technologies, you will have the opportunity to apply strategic frameworks. These analytical frameworks will also be useful in your own professional work. The course may also include an experiential case scenario, led by a representative from the case organisation. This course is designed for those who are inquisitive about digital futures and disruptive innovation and wish to untangle the impact of digital technologies on organisations, industries and customers.
