Applied Digital Transformation

TU Graz
Graz University of Technology

Today, it’s hard to imagine business practice without digitalisation. In the process, steadily growing collections of data are created, which represent a universally applicable resource. Advantages of this resource include: The data cannot be "used up", and they can be shared or sold.

For this reason, businesses are being asked to critically examine their previous business models and to consider how the available data can be integrated into business processes in ways that add value.

In this university course/module you will learn how

to identify opportunities for digitally transforming business processes in your own company and
to conceptualise and plan how these will be applied.

Learning and Teaching Methods

This course takes place in 3 phases:

Online phase: In the online phase, you will acquire fundamental knowledge through a process of self-study. This is done by referencing a combination of articles, literature on the topic, learning videos and taking advantage of other small learning offers. You can independently choose when and where you study. In order to ask questions and exchange information with lecturers and other course participants, you can freely access the TU Graz learning platform "TeachCenter".
Before the online phase begins, a synchronous online session (e.g. by using Webex) will be held with the lecturer to provide an easy introduction to the module content. Every week, a synchronous online session with the lecturer is held, which enables you to reflect on the content and to ask any questions you may still have through a direct exchange.

Attendance phase: Based on what you learned in the online phase, you will deepen your knowledge in course units and receive personal support from experts on site. You have the opportunity to discuss, reflect upon, further expand, and apply the knowledge you have learned in the context of case study examples. Students who cannot be on site for professional reasons can participate in the courses via the online conference system (e.g. by using Webex).

Transfer phase: This phase takes place individually or in a team. Here, you will use the knowledge you have acquired to work on questions and problems from your company context. In this phase, you also receive support from experts.
