The Strategic Digital Transformation course from Abu Dhabi University involves 10 courses and a research-based thesis focused on developing a digital transformation plan to be implemented in the workplace. The courses incorporate all of the key dimensions required to understand and apply digital transformation initiatives, including dimensions of business functions, strategy and business models, design thinking, and digital culture as foundation courses, as well as an understanding of disruptive technologies, agile project management, governance, ethics and cyber security, and data-driven businesses.
