Tech for business: EIT Digital presents Professional School short courses portfolio

Digitalisation is top of mind among many business and organisational leaders in both the public and private sectors today. Henrik Blomgren, associate professor in industrial management at KTH Executive School, says that digital transformation is essential for any type of business wanting to survive in the long run. ‘Businesses looking to harness the power of digitalisation need to develop a method of understanding about what is happening in the industrial business landscape due to its “arrival”. In the course Get ahead in the Ongoing Digital Transformation, course participants get the framework for “What to do now rather than later?” roadmap’.

A related course to this topic is Sustainable Digital Innovation. This is a collaboration between EIT Digital and KTH Executive School. As the name already suggests this 3-day course will help managers and decision-makers to embrace sustainability with digital solutions into their business planning and product development.

Furthermore, Industry 4.0 is part of the executive course Digitalisation and Industry 4.0 in Food Processing aimed for both managers in the food industry and ICT- managers. The course is delivered in partnership with Campden BRI Hungary, CNR, and ELTE university’s Faculty of Informatics. During an interview with EIT Digital, András Sebők, General Manager at Campden BRI, explained that this course is strongly needed for the food industry, ‘Digital transformation is becoming an issue of primary importance in the European food industry. But the problem is the lack of skilled people to make it happen’.

Decision-makers should also learn about the business impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In fact, ‘AI should be part of the strategic agenda in business’, says Ulf Änggård, director of AI initiatives at KTH Executive School in Stockholm. He believes that AI will become a central feature of doing business, he says in an interview. Therefore, the course Business Implications of AI will give decision-makers an understanding of the business opportunities of AI so that they can make the right business decisions.

Last but not least, in the EIT Digital Professional School portfolio, the online course Digital Product Management will equip participants with the skills, knowledge and mindset needed to define, build and improve Digital Products. The course is built together with our partner, Talent Garden Innovation School, one of the most important European operators for digital education and the tech innovators community. At the end of the programme, professionals will have gained all the strategic and tactical aspects of building a digital product that delivers value to customers and businesses.
