Digital Transformation for Scientists & Engineers

Track Managerial Track

In the culminating course of the Manager Track, students are taught how to think about digital transformation in organizations. How do digital skills help transform scientific R&D? What organizational mind-shifts are needed for successful digital transformation? How to lead and foster the digital mindset?

Course Hours6 hours

Course Overview

This course is a series of three discussion-intensive seminars on digital transformation (DTX) for science R&D.

The first seminar focuses on the definition of digital transformation in the context of scientific research and development. From there it narrows its focus on the digital skills and infrastructure needed. The seminar closes with a discussion of the governance requirements for DTX.

The second seminar shifts to the cultural requirements for digital transformation. For DTX, the organization needs to shift to a mindset that encourages and supports experimentation and agility. Here, change and change management become key elements.

The third seminar takes the concepts learned in the first two and blends them into a recipe for practical digital transformation. How does an organization mix the right blend of top-down and bottom-up approaches? How is the change inherent in DTX best managed in an incremental fashion to minimize risk, reduce time to value, and maximize learning? What kinds of goals and timeframes are reasonable to expect when embarking on DTX?

Prerequisite

This course has no formal prerequisites. However, general knowledge about scientific programming, data management, machine learning, and/or software engineering will be useful context in this course. This knowledge can be built by following the Manager Track and Certificate program in Enthought Academy.
