About Programme

Digital transformation has become a defining priority for organisations across industries. However, research indicates that nearly 84% of digital transformation initiatives fail to achieve their stated goals, despite significant investments in technology, infrastructure and resources. In many cases, organisations focus heavily on technology deployment while underestimating the role of strategic, organisational and human dimensions of transformation.

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, further accentuated by global disruptions and the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), leaders are required to rethink business models, develop digital maturity and align technology with organisational capabilities. AI-enabled technologies are reshaping customer engagement, operational efficiency, decision-making and innovation across sectors.

The programme Leading Digital Transformation is designed to address these challenges by positioning digital transformation not solely as a technological upgrade, but as a comprehensive organisational transformation driven by leadership, strategy, culture and emerging digital technologies including AI.
