DEfactoED responds to market demand with two additional courses on digital transformation
Building on their introduction to the APAC market in February and feedback from clients around the globe, DEfactoED have created two additional courses to educate people in organisations about to embark on, or already going through digital transformation
‘In our digital world, transforming organizations to be more efficient, responsive, and better aligned with stakeholder needs will drive use of digital technologies and practices across many different dimensions. Success demands that everyone in the organization is digitally-aware…’ (Professor Alan Brown, ‘Delivering Digital Transformation’ (2019))
Digital technologies are having a disruptive impact on almost every aspect of life today. In a rapidly changing and increasingly complex and uncertain world, developing digital awareness is an essential pre-requisite for all of us. When it comes to digital change people are as important as the technology in making things happen, and that means we all have to learn about digital.
