Successfully tackling the digital transformation with this training

Digital transformation is a current megatrend. More than almost any other trend, digitalization is causing enormous changes in the professional world. This two-day seminar helps managers and decision-makers to deal with the drivers and consequences of digital change. Many methods and tools as well as practical recommendations for action make managers fit for digital leadership.

 

Digital change as an opportunity and a challenge 

Digitalization offers great potential for companies: Algorithms can be used to market goods more efficiently and develop products for specific target groups, while precise web analysis tools and big data allow customer behavior and needs to be examined in detail. What's more, thanks to the digital transformation, entire corporate and sales processes can run more efficiently, faster and more cost-effectively. Today's managers need to be aware of these opportunities and consequences in order to tackle major projects such as Industry 4.0 productively.

This digital transformation training enables participants to adapt their goals and strategies as well as processes and human resources perfectly to the digital working world. At the same time, participants receive practical hands-on tips for management and new business. Agile methods of modern project management are also used, which can be perfectly implemented with the available digital tools and enable maximum flexibility, cost control and efficiency.
