Program Overview

Organizations need leaders to transform, innovate, and shape the digital future. So many businesses have not yet integrated technology within their DNA or use it to increase the organization’s competitive advantage. Leading digital transformation requires a tech-savvy mindset, the ability to manage change and VUCA* in order to innovate. This degree will equip you to become a leader in transforming an organization to harness technology for innovation and sustainability in a rapidly evolving digital economy. *VUCA stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. It describes the situation of constant, unpredictable change that is now the norm in certain industries and areas of the business world.
