We live in a world where any and all information is one click away. Our minds are constantly stimulated and more often than not without our knowledge. This leads to infobesity, a cognitive state that is the result of overconsumption of junk information. Decision-making cannot be understood as one mechanism, it is rather an intermingling of multiple skills and mechanisms which allow us to synthesize, analyze, process, and evaluate information.

In this course, you will:

● Recognize individual or internal factors impacting decision-making

● Recognize external factors impacting decision-making

● Explore how to overcome barriers of decision-making

Digital transformation is about being more effective and efficient. It is a rejuvenating process that implements digital technologies to improve. It does not only use technology to transform an existing service to digital service but also helps to make the existing service meaningfully improved. Digital transformation involves people transformation, organizational structural change, and organizational cultural change. Today, technology has become a part of our lives in an unprecedented way. In addition, the pace of technology change has gone up significantly and every year, newer technologies replace older, outdated ones. The need for existing skillsets to be updated has been changing in a digital enterprise and existing skills are getting outdated fast. This leads to a demand for people transformation to result in adapt to changing needs. With digital transformation, it is not only just technology-related evolution that is happening. Organizational cultures too need to take a hard look at themselves and evolve. One of the key challenges that digital transformation presents is the fine balance between culture and technology. Some organizations are more open to change whereas others have in-built resistance to change. Culture therefore can be one of the biggest stumbling blocks to enable digital transformation.
