About the Course

Digital transformation is a hot topic--but what exactly is it and what does it mean for companies? In this course, developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, and led by top-ranked Darden faculty and Boston Consulting Group global management experts, we talk about digital transformation in two ways. First we discuss the pace of change and the imperative it creates for businesses. Next we provide the context for this transformation and what it takes to win in the digital age. Then we walk through BCG's proprietary framework, which helps you identify key areas to digitize, including strategy, core processes, and technology. By the end of this course, you'll be able to: --describe the underlying economics of innovation, technology, and market disruptions --weigh the pros and cons of current digital technologies driving advancement --utilize BCG's digital transformation framework as a "how-to" for digitizing your organization...

One of the most detailed courses I've studied here in Coursera. I never thought that Digital Transformation would be that broad encompassing multiple fields from Business Strategy to Design Thinking.

While I have been following the Digital Transformation trend and its impact on various industries I didn't have then all nailed down into a structure which could be applied / used to analyse a business.

The course did a good job in helping me connect the dots with starting from the basics and going all the way in highlighting the emerging trends which would be most impactful in the future which providing a good framework to make use of the knowledge to drive the digital transformation agenda.

A very good course in collaboration with BCG, Darden, and Coursera. BCG's wide and extensive experience in helping clients from across domains was very helpful in explaining the different challenges faced by organizations and the new trends they are adopting to face the challenges from platforms and startups.

The course provides a very handy framework for individuals to assess the situation and how to go about digitally transforming the company to remain a dominant player in the market.

Excellent course. Very well structured (it builds up progressively) and ends up with actionable references (knowledge pieces, a solid framework and inspiring examples).

The speakers do a superb job. As well as the interviewees. It's clear it has been extremely well-thought and planned. And very well executed. I liked it. And it's going to be applicable and useful to my company reality.

I wholeheartedly recommend it. But do your best to pass Week 3 and get into Week 4. It's worth it.

This course is amazing and is beautifully crafted with enlightening theoretical lectures and discussions with leaders and innovators. The course is a beautiful blend of innovation management and the revolution in digital technologies. It helped me learn the immense potential in the emerging digital technologies in revolutionizing our world and how one can strategically proceed to benefit from the very potential and the common mistakes that should be avoided during digitization.

The teaching approach leveraging BCG Consulting competencies and frameworks is above any expectation - I was expecting some boring lectures from University professors talking about tons of theory but i was defenetively wrong - Amazing course for anyone interested in understanding how digital strategy should be considered

To the University - it is maybe the right time to refresh the content considering the technology evolutions we had during the past 2 years

The course is excellent. The module and task settings are well-balanced my time and focus. The knowledge is solid and the presentation is ease to understand, especially for a beginner of digitization. The interviews are all insightful and practical, which are worth to watch multiple times. Hope there will be more courses or topics from BCG&DARDEN that can support to further strengthen the skillset that can help to practice in real business.

Very useful to have a good introduction not only to the emerging technologies but also the economics behind them and their impact in businesses. Also, it provides an overview of the key elements on how to transform an organization through digital strategy, digitization and the necessary enablers. Definetively made me look for further training into technologies and their capabilities to change the way businesses can generate more value.

A Very good course , with an excellent digital transformation framework provide by BCG and University of Virginia Darden School of Business. It loved the way the course was presented with examples, interviews with senior partners from BCG, and also the tests at the end of each module. I have though a suggestion for this course, it should add reference materials or reading materials for each module. Thank you for this wonderful course.

This is an excellent big picture view of how digital technologies are reshaping companies. I have no technology background or experience and found the fundamentals of how companies are organised and how technology is allowing companies to be disintegrated absolutely essential to my understanding of what might come next. I found the presenters very knowledgeable and the interviews insightful.

The BCG folks are impressive presenters.

While this course seems to be from 2017 it provides very clear formulated lessons on the technologies that are still highly relevant and shaping today. I appreciate how this course goes beyond just simply listing the benefits of digital transformation, but rather showcases what components come together and how they do. Impact of technologies is clearly communicated and advice on the application of digital transformation is given.

Great introductory course on digital transformation. I want to thank Michael, Amane, Sonja and Ching Fong for this course! Good mix of theory (by UoV) and practice (BCG).

Though, there are two areas of improvement: 1) Peer-graded assignments - this improves the learning process a lot and also encourages to cooperate with other students. 2) Content update - digital is fast-paced environment. Some content requires an update.

Very comprehensive and well structured class that explains in detail what digital transformation is, what it entails and how to approach it for your own business. I found it especially interesting to look at digitization from a corporate, business side and to try to translate the findings and concepts onto the public sector. Definitely enjoyed the class and am certain I will come back to my notes frequently in the future.

There's a ton of information packed into this one course. If you are new to industry 4.0 and agile concepts, it'll will probably require extensive external studying. But if you are already in deep in the industry, it nicely connects all the different concepts together. Insights from BCG thought leaders as well industry case studies where the principles were applied really cement together everything taught in this course.

Well organized with good content & plenty of example & expert interviews. Neat work!

Very good overview of core digital concepts & fundamentals.

Decent overview of new trends & factors to consider for implementation.

Very good course to make business cases, make supporting arguments & influence decision-makers!

Could definitely up the complexity & make it more content heavy or introduce an advanced course!

Thank you!

This course does a great job summarizing at a high level what a modern digital transformation entails across industries and the globe. Great examples provided from public and private domains and a thorough dissection of upcoming technologies, for the time that it was created. An updated curriculum may be necessary, give the break-neck speed of technological progress which is actually covered in the very first module.

This course shows an absolutely methodical and structured framework with which IT leaders can approach, adopt and possibly excel in Digital transformation. Examples of real customers who have successfully adopted and excelled in the fourth industrial revolution also promises that this change is not easy but not definitely feasible. Thanks BCG and University of Virginia to come with such a professional grade course.

A comprehensive introductory course, that allies a good structure of theoretical content with practical examples of companies going through the challenge of digital transformation. This is a strategy course, then, it provokes us to strategically think about how the changes in the environment are affecting the business dynamics. It is an inspiring first step to learn more about how to digitalize companies.

I thank the BCG team for this clear, deep and effective Digital Transformation course. My previous professional experience in the field of technology has brought me closer to this important phenomenon, which is changing the user experience in all forms. I had a good idea of its scope but it was not structured enough to try to lead an transformation process. Now I am better prepared and empowered to do so.
