Great review

  • Content

    The course structure follows the past – present – future pattern. Many insights about disruptive technologies are taken from the past. One course week is devoted to the presently emerging new technologies including blockchains. At the end course the digitization strategies are discussed, which may be helpful for companies planning, executing digital transformations in order to be successful in the future.

  • Technology

    The course is primarily about the digital transformation related aspects. Among many things it covers the emerging, possibly disruptive new technologies. In that context blockchains are briefly presented in few sentences omitting all the technical aspects.

  • Applications

    In general, the course teaches how to embrace and apply emerging technologies. It introduces all the major technological trends, the essence of each emerging technology including blockchains and presents strategies, frameworks that could be used to incorporate the new technologies into business routines of every enterprise.

  • Delivery

    These video lectures provide the core content of the course and include few quiz questions that provide a quick way to check of the key concept understanding. Learners may also connect and discuss new concepts, ideas in the online discussion forums. Additional readings and weekly handouts summarizing key points from lecture videos are provided in the "Resources" section of the course. The course presents many interviews with the digital transformation experts.

Digital transformation is a hot topic--but what exactly is it and what does it mean for companies? In this course, developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, and led by top-ranked Darden faculty and Boston Consulting Group global management experts, we talk about digital transformation in two ways. First we discuss the pace of change and the imperative it creates for businesses. Next we provide the context for this transformation and what it takes to win in the digital age. Then we walk through BCG's proprietary framework, which helps you identify key areas to digitize, including strategy, core processes, and technology.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
--describe the underlying economics of innovation, technology, and market disruptions
--weigh the pros and cons of current digital technologies driving advancement
--utilize BCG's digital transformation framework as a "how-to" for digitizing your organization
