Digital Transformation Strategy
WHAT IS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION?
Digital transformation is the process of adapting corporate processes to an online operating standard. According to Wikipedia:
Digital transformation is the changes associated with the application of digital technology in all aspects of human society. Digital transformation may be thought of as the third stage of embracing digital technologies: digital competence → digital usage → digital transformation, with usage and transformative ability informing digital literacy. The transformation stage means that digital usages inherently enable new types of innovation and creativity in a particular domain, rather than simply enhance and support the traditional methods.

WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
Every day, new technological announcements are made that bring traditional operating models into question. In such an environment, managers must make the right decisions in terms of which digital transformation investments to adapt, and in which sequence.
As with lean management, it is vital to "right-size man and machine", i.e. to invest in digitalisation solutions which serve the enterprise value chain, not the technology itself.
Navigator Consulting's Digital Transformation Strategy training course provides a rapid yet effective, 360 degree view of the requirements, potential, opportunities and risks of digital transformation.
Together, we explore fundamental issues like adapting technology investments to your business model and value chain; determining how to select technologies and vendors; make or buy decisions; risk analysis; and more.
Our training is informed by 30 years of digital transformation consulting experience dating to our foundation in 1995. In this time, we have lived through successive generations of digital and real technology investments. This experience informs our training methodology.

Training Preparation & Follow-up
Pre-Training Survey
Prior to the training programme, we will implement a trainee survey. This online survey assesses individual competencies and knowledge on digital transformation as well as the state of transformation in key parts of your enterprise. In this way we will determine the starting level of knowledge of participating companies and customise the training materials according to the survey’s results. The results of the survey are shared with you.
Post-Training Survey
Following the programme, we will implement a second training survey designed to measure training impact, receptivity and engagement with the subject as a result of the training.
Training Certificates
All managers who complete the training will be awarded Certificates of Participation. These are paper-based and digital credentials that can be co-branded with your company's logo and name. They can be co-signed by the trainer and the Company Training Manager or other Manager/s from your firm.
