Developed by Faculty Director Jeanne Ross and her colleagues at MIT, this online course takes a deep dive into the five foundational dimensions of digital transformation. These key dimensions help organizations leverage the capabilities provided by technology.
As digital technologies continue to reshape industries, many companies are seeking large-scale digital transformation as a way to maximize results and get ahead of their competition. Enterprises are expected to invest nearly $2 trillion in digital transformation initiatives by 2022, yet research indicates that 70 percent of these initiatives will not reach their goals. To succeed in the digital economy, established businesses must develop and apply new technology and organizational capabilities.
“Being digital is not just introducing mobile apps for customers. It’s taking advantage of the opportunity to redefine a business – and possibly even an industry,” shares Jeanne Ross, Faculty Director of this program.
As one of the world’s top researchers in the challenges faced by senior-level corporate executives in adapting to, and implementing, new information technology in their businesses, Ross takes a deep dive into the five key dimensions of digital transformation, and how successful transformation can occur when systematically driven. These five dimensions form the foundational design principles for organizations seeking to leverage new technologies for innovation. The program also explores how business leaders can influence their organizational mindset to change deeply held, traditional practices.

"This course was simply excellent. It gave me a plan to move my current organization forward and the course work outlined how other organization's have been successful. One of the most practical courses I have taken"

"It changed how I judge transformation maturity. I no longer equate progress with visible investment or modern systems. I look for whether the capability is standardized, reusable, and safe to scale. It also made me more disciplined about sequencing: strengthen the operational backbone and accountability first, build a true digital platform on top of that, and treat an external developer platform as a later-stage move once the foundations are proven. Most importantly, it improved how I operate as a transformation leaderfocusing on guardrails, ownership, and prioritization from the high ground, instead of operating at an overly tactical level."

"I have an ACE certificate and this is my 13th course by MIT Executive Education. This course was not up to standard of MITs previous courses. The only good I can say about the course is that the staff from Get Smarter and Learning Facillicators were very active and encouraging The course had very little material and it was not challenging at all. The learnings over 6 weeks could be summarized in a 2 page pdf. Not worth your money. Spend your time with other MIT ExEd courses were you will actually learn something I recommend MIT to cancel this course from the curriculum Peter Aberg"

"The course discussion was very insightful yet friendly to non-digitally savvy. It was very engaging. Each Module Assessment is a great tool for the participants to apply the learnings in an actual company scenario. At the end of the course, I can say that I am now a step closer to becoming digitally savvy."
