Digital Leadership and Innovation
Digital Innovation is the lifeblood of any organisation, large or small. It is a crucial ability which ensures long-term sustainability of a business by allowing continuous adaptation to changing environments. But it is also a capability that is hard to achieve, maintain or replicate in the face of changing and emergent new digital technologies that upend and disrupt organisation, sectors and entire markets. Anticipating, mastering and deploying novel digital technologies and understanding their impact on strategy, processes, organising and customers is a crucial competitive advantage to mastering and leading in the digital innovation challenge.
Increasing the digital capabilities of companies requires specialist knowledge and skills. Our thought leaders from the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences (WISO) and the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, have partnered with trusted external institutions and experienced experts to bring you a cutting-edge programme that will expand and deepen your knowledge and hone your skills to cope with digital change.
