The ‘digital transformation’ of organizations has become an important objective for IT and non-IT executives as they struggle to develop and deploy creative strategies to preserve and grow shareholder value while remaining agile and innovative to counter new, unanticipated threats enabled by information technologies.
Fundamentally, organizations aspire to be customer-centric, nimble, digitally connected, highly profitable organizations that can compete in a dynamic environment of new digitally-enabled ‘disruptors’ to their business models
Business Management Consultants are ‘high demand’ professionals who are required to work as ‘trusted advisors’ to business and IT leadership. Business Management Consultants must have a deep understanding of the best practices, tools, techniques, frameworks and disciplines that will enhance their analyses of the organization’s strategic situation and their recommendations for transformation to an innovative ‘digital company’, requiring heavy interaction with their IT and non-IT clients.
