What do you need to successfully implement digital transformation in the AI era? On this programme you learn that it’s not about investing in more technology.

Instead, it’s about inspiring people to work in ways that are agile enough to explore and exploit digital opportunities faster than competitors. And how are we going to do this? By developing a new breed of professionals who will guide the way – your organisation’s digital transformation leaders.

Join us to discover how to rewire your whole organisation for agility – and leverage digital transformation for competitive advantage.

Testimonials

"I strongly believe that embracing digital in a smart way can improve the customer experience and optimise business processes. The programme really confirmed that there is no magic formula for increasing an organisations digital maturity. We discovered the variety of tasks, points of view, and number of people that should be involved to get to a good result. The main learning lesson is the necessity of a roadmap for the entire organisation – and this programme provided the tools."

Greet De Bondt

Head of Digital Customer Experience DIeteren

"It was fascinating to talk to people active in diverse sectors and yet all facing the same issues. The programme also inspired me on a technological level – seeing examples set by the industry pioneers, the technological possibilities, and hearing the guest lecturers who have lived such a transformation first-hand and were eager to share their experiences with the group.

Wouter Van Isterdael

Business Unit Director IT Aldi Belgium

"In my current role as Head of IT I have the ability to engage at both the operational and the strategic level. This programmes mix of theory, energy scan and tips & tools and the shared experiences in implementing digital transformations in practice has given me lots of insights and inspiration. One of the first actions taken in the organisation was to categorise the roadmap according to the four different types of Leading Digital Transformation."

Tamara Lievens

Head of IT @MPET

"Working in change management and innovation, I looked for a programme with an end-to-end vision and a people aspect beyond digital. The participants all face similar challenges, and its a relief to hear that youre not alone. Leading Digital Transformation isnt easy, but it starts with understanding your companys culture and finding the right leadership styles. Combined with agility and the courage to take risks."
