Transform your organisation through innovation
Over the last two decades, ‘born digital’ companies such as Facebook, Google and Alibaba have led the way as key innovators in their industry. Coupled with this, COVID crisis has accelerated the need to transform strategy and ways of organising through digital technologies to be innovative and competitive.
This programme has been designed to provide you with a framework to develop your digital strategy, equip you as a leader to build a digital culture and provide you with tools for designing digital services and platform ecosystems. This programme aims to equip managers to move towards a successful digital organisation; essential for competing in the future.
Making the transition to becoming a successful digital organisation requires a widening of the lens of innovation, enabled by the use of flexible digital technologies. For a senior manager, this requires creative confidence and an innovative mindset.
It also requires a change in the way the organisation operates, embracing the business ecosystem. This means a change in how teams work to emphasise creativity and innovation. At the heart of these changes is the need to develop a culture that will support digital working, one which requires agility, the tolerance of failure and a new level of understanding of customer behaviours.

Live Online
Our Live Online programmes bring Cambridge to you wherever you are, delivering the best aspects of a face-to-face learning experience here in Cambridge, into your office or home. Using technologies we are all now familiar with, you will take part in breakout groups with real time interaction between your peers and faculty. You will engage in realistic simulations or use software-enabled “sprint” design development. We also introduce guest speakers, live “Cambridge Union”-style debates and panels of experts and practitioners into the class.
Our Live Online programmes take place over a number of half-day sessions, run in the mornings (UK time).
Face-to-face
Face-to-face is a traditional, intense classroom learning experience and is all about hands-on interaction. You will be a part of exercises, debates and conversations, engaging directly with our faculty and your peers. Conversations spill over into breaktimes and meals, forming lasting connections. Share your ideas, develop your network and grow professionally, whilst enjoying the historic city of Cambridge.
