Overview
Digital and information technologies have changed the world. Every aspect of life has been impacted in some way by technology that did not exist just 50 years ago. Digital and information technologies have disrupted the business world, but they have also provided the keys to success. Each wave of innovation brings opportunities and capabilities to those organizations that are willing to change how they think and work.
The disruptive nature of innovations like artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual working, and internet of things is compounded by the frequency of the innovations. Organizations must adapt quickly and repeatedly; continually adjusting their strategies.
The IITL 4 Leader: Digital and IT Strategy course adds a new perspective to the ITIL 4 guidance and elevates the discussion to an organizational strategy level.
The course enables IT and digital leaders to influence and drive strategic business decisions through creating an appropriate digital strategy aligned to the wider business goals, understanding how business and IT leaders respond to digital disruption and exploiting the ITIL 4 framework to support organizations on their challenging digital transformation journey.
The course will cover how ITIL 4 can be integrated with emerging practices and new technologies to meet new internal and external challenges in the age of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA).
In this course, there is a mandatory case study assessment for student to pass prior to taking up the actual exam. This assessment is an open-book assessment with the passing score of 75% (30 correct out of 40).
