Digital Strategy Course
The digitl strategy course will launch you into a completely innovative teaching methodology, teaching you and making you practically use the technical-operational tools to create and manage digital business strategies with experience. At the end of the course, you will be able, in a completely autonomous manner, to outline the best digital strategies for all those companies that aspire to evolve their business in a radical and timely manner.
The advantages that digital marketing can offer you are innumerable. Digital is radically reshaping and disrupting the foundations of traditional business, generating opportunities for start-ups and companies of all kinds.
From heavy industry to financial services and consumer goods, large established players are seeing their leadership position at risk from new digital native companies that operate without the burden of the old rigid business processes. Their need to keep up with the times means hiring employees and staff skilled in digital business strategy.
Why choose
the Digital Strategy Course?
Three roommates struggling to pay the rent in San Francisco founded Airbnb, a giant that has grown to own 6% of the hotel industry’s rooms and 7% of total revenue in the US.
Alibaba was founded by Jack Ma in 1999 with a little funding. In 2019, this e-commerce giant served 654 million customers and generated sales of over 376 billion yuan. A ‘digital rethink’ that has completely transformed b2b commerce.
The challenge for companies is not only technology, but also talent. There is a growing demand for new economy professionals who can bridge the gap between technology and business.
Unfortunately, this talent is in short supply.
Why? The answer is simple: the best schools and universities live in the past.
