Title
The Executive Education Course in Digital Transformation equips senior public servants and elected officials with the confidence and expertise they need to transform public services to meet the needs of their citizens.
The course is led by academic and public service leaders who have delivered national-scale technology and business reforms resulting in significant savings and improved public services. We’ve distilled the lessons from years of transformation in the world’s leading digital governments into an intensive, hands-on learning experience. The course is a combination of live interactive sessions and on-demand content that you can consume at your own pace.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is sponsoring this programme as part of an ongoing collaboration with locally and globally renowned academic institutions.

What you can expect: |
We use a mix of learning environments to keep the course fresh and engaging. On-demand masterclasses in business and government transformation are punctuated with tech primers and specialist talks. The course consists of modules that are a combination of live interactive sessions and on-demand content you can consume around your schedule. Live interactive sessions include group working where you’ll apply your learning like using design thinking in transforming a digital service or taking lessons learned from other countries in our digital transformation game. Throughout the course, in addition to live panels and Q&A, you will have access to experts to ask them all of your burning questions about digital transformation. Alumni will have access to the expanded learning as new optional modules are developed over time too.
At the end of the course, each participant will present a plan for transforming a key aspect of their own organisation. They will make pledges to one another that will form the basis of our future support and mentoring programme. |
