Digital Transformation Strategies for Small and Medium Enterprises
A senior-level treatment of digital transformation for SMEs, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
The constraint on digital transformation for SMEs is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. Vendors sell transformation for SMEs as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this aspect of digital and data-driven work. The programme is built to be used, and every section of digital transformation for SMEs it covers ends in something applicable. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the digital and data-driven work capability is rarely technical. Buying a tool rarely fixes transformation for SMEs; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The programme suits teams tackling digital transformation for SMEs together as readily as individuals attending alone. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of transformation for SMEs and prepares them for it. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of digital and data-driven work that each participant writes for their own organisation.
