Introduction
This course is specifically designed for working professionals who are either currently in, or seeking, managerial and leadership positions in organisations that have been significantly impacted by the use of digital technologies. The advent of digital

settings. Learners will learn the fundamentals of leading people, teams, and organisations, as well as developing managerial skills to design work, analyse situations, and make decisions in digitalised environments.
Ultimately, this course will equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive as leaders in digitalised organisations. They will learn to adapt to new technologies, manage change, and effectively lead their teams to success in the
digital age.
