This course will expose you to the concepts, principles, and basics in Strategic IT Management. Main objective of the course is to prepare the students for the upcoming realities of the business life.
We are just about to enter a new transformational phase. Digital Transformation from one side and the Industry 4.0 topic from the other side, all upcoming and interrelated frameworks. Disrupting new technology start-up’s and their ecosystem are changing the way traditional companies are working. Hence the future workforce is changing and as well IT workforce.
Whilst those traditional companies and incumbents are changing the way they are working technology based transformation has also to be done fast and in an healthy manner. Up to these days business units and technology teams were talking different languages to communicate which resulting inefficient infrastructure and application implementations.
We don’t have time to lose, business life requires deep understanding of the process and the way the strategy implemented from techies…
Therefore we’ll discover basics of this ever changing world and try to understand strategy and IT implementation.
