iMDT – International Master in Digital Transformation

DigitalExperience-1

THE MASTER FOR THE DIGITAL LEADERS OF TOMORROW

Digital technologies and Innovations are transforming processes, operations, business models and entire organisations: their impact is often so pervasive and radical that it leads to a cross-industry “Digital Disruption”. We hence believe that Digital Transformation is not merely a combination of technologies, but a major phenomenon with deep strategic and managerial implications for all companies, regardless of the industry they operate in. This master will provide participants with the strategic, entrepreneurial and organisational approaches, methods and tailored “tool-box” to navigate across the main digital trends (e.g. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Blockchain, Big Data & Analytics, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, eCommerce, Mobile & Omnichannel Communication, Digital Manufacturing & Industry 4.0) and lead Digital Transformation in both public and private organisations.

*Starting from 2021, it will be possible to choose whether to join classes, including the kick-off, online or in person.
