Understanding digital transformation

October 1-2, 2020


“Digital transformation” or “digitalization” are popular marketing terms. Are you missing out on something? Are you worried that you make bad investments into wrong tech-bubble projects? Are you frustrated that you don’t understand the “digital new-age” jargon thrown at you, suspecting that the other doesn’t quite understand it himself? Then this is the course for you.

Don’t be blinded by science. We look behind the high and mighty terms and see the sober reality behind. The technology explained in simple terms, always with illustrative examples from the industry and direct experience.

We do not need to be in awe of the technologies, but we would be fools not to use the tools available now.
