IIM Lucknow's Digital Transformation programme dives into how technology is driving strategies in a post-pandemic reality

The challenges of the past two years have been unparalleled. Companies across the globe are still navigating their way through this upheaval and finding newer ways to establish customer centricity, innovation and transformation. In fact, 37% of IT initiatives by companies worldwide are focused on improving customer experience (Flex era, 2021). But there is a problem. As physical workplaces and in-person interactions with peers are almost non-existent, the time is right for organizations, big and small, to embrace digital transformation across the board. The time is right, as, by 2023, global spending on services and technologies that will allow digital transformation is estimated to amount to $2.3 trillion (IDC, 2020)

The reliance of businesses and organizations on technology-based strategies is not a by product of the pandemic. This digital transformation journey has been a story in the making for a decade, but the pandemic has given it an undeniable fillip. Still, while innovation driven by digital technologies gives businesses a competitive edge across functions, not everyone is well-prepared for this shift. Only 12% of India’s workforce comprises Digitally Skilled Labor and this will need to increase by nine-fold by 2025 in order to meet the job demand, according to Amazon Web Services’ Unlocking APAC’s Digital Potential: Changing Digital Skill Needs and Policy Approaches report. The need to upskill for one of the most diverse and in-demand job roles in India is today. And the Executive Program in Digital Transformation designed by the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, in collaboration with Erudite Executive Education, is here to bridge the gap.
