Chief Digital Officer Certificate Program
As the world becomes increasingly digitized and interconnected, there’s more reason than ever to develop yourself as a digital leader.
You’ve seen it at your own company. Everything is changing. Digitization is not slowing down and data is increasingly being used for strategic decision making across departments. Analytics and technology are becoming more important, not only in meeting the demands of your organization, but in staying agile and responsive to your customers and constituents. Carnegie Mellon's Chief Digital Officer Certificate Program provides you with the tools you need for next generation leadership in any sector.
There’s a lot to know. From privacy and security breaches to ethics and cultural issues, there’s a lot of complexity involved in the management of digital teams, assets, communications, products, and services. Where digital transformation goes, huge benefits can follow, as can major risks.
CMU’s Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy and the Tepper School of Business have joined up to develop this visionary executive education program. The program follows a team-based project/case study approach to prepare you to develop and implement a strategic digital roadmap for your home organization.
Key Takeaways
- Learn to create star performers, including maximizing the role of leadership and followership.
