My overall impression was good and the program met all my expectations. It provided a good base for deeper knowledge about digital transformation and the strategies to undertake it. It can be enough for people looking to improve their overall skill set, or those wanting to enhance their expertise. The online learning experience was smooth, and the platform intuitive. Having already had a high level of knowledge about digital transformation strategies, I believe this program gave me more detailed and structured insights. The elements which were presented in five modules offered a good foundation. Thank you for the great content, it was really useful!
