Certified Professional for Digital Strategy

According to McKinsey, the user-centred design of digitalisation projects is one of the most relevant future technology skills. The negative effects of fast-moving solutions that have been developed without taking human needs into account are evident in all industries and fields of application - especially with regard to Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI).

In our Professional for Digital Strategy training, you will learn how to develop a human-centric digitalisation strategy for your company using the latest technologies, e.g. GenAI. You will gain a holistic understanding of current digitalisation trends - from business models to the benefits of technology. We put you in a position to determine the right technologies for your company, develop new business models and ensure acceptance of digitalisation among your employees.

 

The quality of the teaching content is assured by combining practice and research.

The content and didactics of the training programme were compiled jointly by our application experts at Fraunhofer FIT and professors at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and are continuously developed further in a corresponding expert committee. In this way, we ensure that the skills imparted are sustainably appropriate to the rapid technological developments of our time.

 

From the Fraunhofer certificate degree to a Master's degree in Innovation and Information Management at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences

The content taught in the Professional for Digital Strategy course counts towards admission to the Master's degree programme in Innovation and Information Management (M.Sc.) in the form of 20 ECTS credits. This means that even non-specialists can enter a degree programme with a business and technological focus.
