Executive Education Course in Digital Transformation


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.
