Digital Technology Demystified

Understand how the digital world operates and works

The purpose of Digital Technology Demystified is to develop your capacity to add value, innovate, and distinguish your organisation in a competitive marketplace. A focus on advanced technology - which includes AI, Blockchain, Robotics, and Internet of Things – is becoming a requirement for most companies, their clients and customers alike so, Digital Technology Demystified will help you gain confidence in these areas.

The learning goals of the course are to develop the following knowledge and thinking skills.

Technology is a vast subject area. Its scope embraces the most basic tools through to the most extreme complexity imaginable. There are now few areas of human activity that digital technologies do not touch. They cross and disrupt traditional boundaries, so we will explore how companies such as Rolls Royce have transformed themselves into digital technology based services business, and how other companies have innovated with digital technology to grow revenue.

The pace of the evolution of digital technology in recent times has been breathtaking, and will continue to accelerate into the foreseeable future, so a key part of this course is to identify the drivers of change and the directions in which digital technology is moving.

The course covers computing, programming, software, the internet and how businesses create digital technology solutions. Each section has a knowledge check and poses practical challenges.

The end goal of the course is for you to be able to outline a technical solution that addresses a practical business issue, and the course is designed to build all the knowledge and skills you will need to complete this task.
