SAP’s learning platform, openSAP is presenting a new thought leaders series on how organisations can manage change and navigate the complex path to digital transformation.
Bringing together academics and business leaders, the program will provide insights into what the digital economy means and how to address the challenges and leverage the opportunities it brings, according to SAP.
“The digital transformation is not a onetime effort with a clearly defined final target state, but rather a journey. New business practices are emerging every day,” said Dr Bernd Welz, executive vice president and global head, scale, enablement, and transformation; SAP.
Professor Dr Helmut Krcmar, chair of computer science in economics, Department of Informatics, Technische Universitat Munchen, Germany, will lead the first course in the series, ‘Leadership in Digital Transformation’.
The free, two-week course will teach participants what it means to be a modern digital business, and how the organisational and technological changes associated with digital transformation change the role, skills and concept of leadership.
“Envisioning and implementing a truly digital strategy implies overcoming the separation of minds, roles and structures between business and IT,” said Professor Krcmar. “With this open online course on leadership in digital transformation, I want to create awareness for this issue and stimulate dialogue between corporate business and IT leaders. As openSAP brings together professionals from both sides, it is a great platform to convey this message.”
