An introductory course describing digital transformation and maturity, its importance and key drivers.
This interactive training course introduces TM Forum’s perspective on digital maturity and transformation. Using industry best practices and TM Forum models, guidelines and blueprints, our expert trainer(s) will introduce the concepts of being digital, digital maturity and transformation; provide background on what is driving these changes; and introduce some practical guidance on how to plan and execute programs that will help drive your organization’s digital transformation with a focus on achieving improved customer satisfaction, increased revenues and reduced costs.
As every employee needs to be involved in an organization’s digital transformation, anyone who takes this course will gain a much clearer understanding of what digital transformation is, why it is important and how to get the organization’s digital transformation started and / or accelerate its progress.
While senior management often introduces and drives digital maturity and transformation within an organization, the responsibility for implementation often lies with every employee. The success of the transformation relies on their ability to understand, internalize and apply these ideas while clearly understanding what digital maturity and transformation means to their job, their company and their industry. The course explains how to introduce, approach and manage digital transformation by leveraging the TM Forum Digital Maturity Model (DMM) and The GC Index ® framework.
