Programme Objective

As we move into a digital economy, enterprises are gradually undergoing digital transformation to compete and to stay relevant. While the introduction of these new technologies can bring great benefits, it also introduces risks and uncertainties.            
                                   
Managers today are required to participate in enterprise transformation projects or panels to evaluate the usefulness of these technologies.             
                       
This course aims to introduce some of these common topics and provide the participants baseline knowledge to allow them to evaluate and in some cases, even implement these new technologies in their workplace.

In this course, participants will:
                                               

1. Gain an appreciation into how these data analytics, automation, blockchain and cloud storage works                       
2. Describe the general benefits and limitations of these technologies                               
3. Discuss the critical success factors required to implement these technologies successful in the organisation                               

Identify the risks associated with these technologies and the potential mitigation controls

Programme Outline

This course focuses on building foundational knowledge so that each participant will gain an appreciation of the topic and the limitations of these new technological development.                
In each module, the participants will be exposed to useful concepts that will help them widen their horizon and understanding of the new digital economy and workplace. It will also enhance the effectiveness of communication and appreciation between the participants and the IT/analytics team when collaborating on digitisation projects.                    
                                               
The ABCD of Emerging Technology

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Concept of human-bot collaboration on top of Robotic Process Automation, Machine Learning
2. Blockchain - Smart Contract and Initial Coin Offering                              
3. Cloud Storage - public cloud and private cloud; platform/infrastructure as-a-service  
4. Data – Data Analytics and Text Analytics

Training Methodology

This course includes both group discussion and hands-on exercises. Participants are expected to participate in the group/course discussion and presentation.                                            
As this is an introductory course, foundational topics will be covered to ensure that all participants are able to understand the content covered.
