Digital technology is impacting
every industry. The next generation
of managers needs to understand
the role that digital plays in an
accelerating business world. Organisations are inundated with
data. Understanding data and the
ways it can be analysed and used
to help guide decision making is
becoming a critical skill. This course introduces the
fundamentals of technology used
by contemporary organisations
to develop digital products. It also
introduces key elements of agile
development and the role of the
product manager in working with
technical teams to deliver on a digital
strategy. As part of the course,
you’ll work together in a small team
to develop a digital product strategy
for an organisation. This session introduces key
principles in data analytics and
provides hands on experience
in using analytics tools to derive
business insights. The emphasis
is on managing and sourcing data,
the analytic process and the role
of leadership in supporting the
organisational and cultural change
associated with the transformation to
becoming a data-driven organisation.
As part of the business analytics
process you will build predictive
models. Whether you’re launching a new
venture or seeking to turnaround
an established business, the ability
to identify and respond to new
opportunities is becoming a key
management skill.
