Chicago Booth's new executive education programme to help businesses accelerate growth

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- The University of Chicago Booth School of Business has created a new, transformative executive education programme backed by executive demand and market research.

The Digital Innovation Strategy and Management (DISM) is a five-day in-person programme designed to help leaders incorporate digital capabilities into their company's DNA - ultimately supporting a more resilient organisation.

According to a statement, the programme will be held from Oct 31 through Nov 4 at the Gleacher Center in downtown Chicago.

Renowned Booth faculty will help executives reimagine their business through new lens that integrates digital capabilities to understand customers, modernise workstreams and scale outcomes.

“This programme is designed to help executives lead through rapid change by leveraging technology for tangible business value,” said Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship, Chicago Booth and DISM co-faculty director, Robert C. Wolcott.

Participants will discover how digital technologies transform business models, value chains and entire industries and how to evaluate an organisation's current innovation profile.

Attendees will also learn how to make decisions when data is incomplete or unreliable and examine disruptive global macro trends and strategic risk management frameworks.

The University of Chicago Booth School of Business is the second oldest business school in the United States and the first to teach executives.
