Understand digital transformation, lead change with confidence and make better decisions in an increasingly digital world.

Overview

Digital transformation is no longer the responsibility of technology teams alone. Leaders across government and public services are increasingly expected to make decisions about digital services, data, artificial intelligence, automation and organisational change, regardless of their technical background.

This practical course is designed for leaders who are not digital specialists but need to understand how digital transformation can improve services, increase efficiency and deliver better outcomes for citizens. Participants will develop the knowledge and confidence needed to engage effectively with digital teams, challenge assumptions, make informed decisions and lead digital change within their organisations.

Through practical examples, case studies and discussion, participants will gain a clear understanding of what successful digital transformation looks like and the role leaders play in making it happen.
