Course Overview
The increase in customer/citizen demand for faster and better quality services has increased the need and focus on digital governance. Digital transformation is a very critical aspect of digital governance; they are inter-related. Digital governance refers to effective management and control of digital assets, such as social media, cloud, analytics, wearable computing, etc. The assets considered under digital governance are ideally external-facing because they interact with partners and customers.
On the other hand, digital transformation focuses on customer experience, operational processes, and business models. Without digital governance in place, digital transformation efforts will be scattered, uncoordinated and not aligned to business strategies and objectives. The lack of digital governance increases business risks in many ways. Thus, given the importance and need for digital governance, it is critical for an organization to have a digital strategy in place, one aligned with its goals and objectives, to be able to stay competitive and progress continuously. This Zoe training course will empower you with a complete overview of the importance of digital governance and the urgent need and criticality of a good digital business strategy for successful corporate governance. Through this course, you will not only gain an understanding of digital governance and a digital business strategy but also acquire the necessary experience, knowledge, and skills to build a digital business strategy for your organization.
