The Syllabus
This module explores the 5 domains of digital transformation. Looking at Customers, not as mass markets but as part of a network of consumers, drastically changing the way we deliver value. This session will also look at how to partner with the Competition to “Co-opete” and drive more customer value. We will explore Data; its acquisition, analysis, and application towards forecasting and product development. We will explore emerging technologies and look at ways to iteratively Innovate cost-effectively. Finally, we will look at Value creation as the core objective of digital transformation strategies.
Traditionally, a firm’s value proposition was seen as fairly constant. Products might be updated but the basic value a business offered to its customer was assumed to be constant. New players have disrupted many industries by offering new value propositions powered by technology and platform business models. You will learn how to create Business, People, Societal & Customer values that are powered by innovation and closely aligned to the core business goals, visions and mission.
This session will expose participants to new ways of enabling value-creating interactions between external producers and consumers through platform business models. The platform’s overarching purpose: to consummate matches among users and facilitate the exchange of goods, services, or social currency, thereby enabling value creation. You will learn how to transform organisations from traditional pipeline to platform business models.
Over 75% of online experiences start with a keyword search on the major search engines. Consumers are also increasingly using social media platforms as search engines. It is important that organisations understand how to optimize content and assets to ensure organic visibility when consumers search for the products and services offered by the organisation. You will understand that Search Engine Optimisation is an important aspect of the overall digital strategy as it could dramatically reduce the overall cost of advertising and provide organic business visibility.
A hollistic breakdown of social media platforms. Understand the relevance and application of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, SnapChat, WhatsApp etc. Understand how & when to utilise Owned, Earned & Paid media on social media. Understand the role of influencers, seed marketing & word-of-mouth social referrals. Learn how to manage precision targetted and Re-targeting adverts on social media.
