The workshop on Human-Centric Digital Transformation has been developed to cater to the emerging demands of academic managers who seek to enhance their institutions’ competitiveness through digital transformation. As the digital landscape evolves rapidly, it is imperative for academic institutions to stay up to date with the latest trends and best practices to remain competitive.
This workshop will provide managers with a comprehensive overview of digital transformation, covering the latest trends, practical tips, and tools to implement digital strategies in academic institutions. Participants will learn how to leverage emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things to improve the academic experience, increase operational efficiency, and drive growth.
The gap in the market that this offering aims to address is the lack of accessible, practical guidance for managers seeking to implement digital transformation in their institutions. While there is no shortage of information available on the topic, much of it is overly technical, theoretical, or geared towards large enterprises with extensive resources. Academic managers, in particular, may struggle to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and could benefit greatly from a more practical, hands-on approach.
By attending this workshop, managers will gain the knowledge and skills needed to successfully navigate the digital landscape and drive digital transformation in their institutions. With a focus on real-world examples and actionable strategies, this workshop is the perfect opportunity for traditional institutions to unlock the full potential of digital transformation and enhance their competitiveness in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
