The need to support multiple locations (including globalization) and distance learning for organizations (e.g., universities, internal and external education/training departments) has been recognized as important for decades. However, the coronavirus pandemic has made it an essential component for the successful development (education, training) of candidates (e.g., students, internal and external staff). In addition, todays fast paced dynamic workplace environment has driven the need to provide flexible any-time any-place education/training, as well as the digitization of all administrative processes.
These certificates prepare organizations (e.g., managers, teachers, administrators) to be effective educators/trainers in today's multi-location global environment that leverages emerging information technologies (especially AI, blockchain, and security).
- With only 35% of IT and non-IT executives believing that their organizations currently have the required digital leadership skills, the opportunities for digital management education are growing exponentially.
- The success rate of today’s digital initiatives resembles the traditionally low success rate of IT projects. We continue to make the same mistakes.
- Naturally, having accurate, accessible, secure data is fundamental to a successful AI initiative, thus providing additional topics addressed in this program.
