Overview
Many businesses manage to remain competitive by using their ability to adapt strategies and re-think their old operating models in response to fundamental changes in the market. Technology gives these organisations the opportunity to evolve and to increase their value to their customers; modern services are increasingly moving online – making digital transformation a necessity. In 2019, the global spending on digital transformation technologies and services grew around 18%. This unit aims to give students a comprehensive understanding of digital transformation.
Digital transformation constitutes the integration of digital technology into all areas of a business to maximise the Return on Investment (ROI) meaning that there will be fundamental changes to business operations and culture. In this unit, students will look at a number of tools and techniques that organisations use to transform and become more innovative in their approach.
Modules
Topics included in this unit are: frameworks and related elements such as operational agility, culture, leadership, customer experience, and integration of digital technology.
On successful completion of this unit a student will be able to investigate the business transformation context, explore different types of transformation, explain what makes a successful transformation, and review the advantages and disadvantages of different ways of protecting ideas in digital transformation.
Career Progression
The Unit will be accredited by Pearson, using the HN Flex service and can be used to contribute towards an HNC in Digital Technologies (a Higher Technical Qualification or HTQ).
