Certificate in Digital Mindset and Driving Change

Program Overview

Digital transformation in Gulf organisations rarely stalls because of technology; it stalls when managers and teams keep working with analogue assumptions. This programme builds the digital mindset needed to lead change: thinking in data, experiments and customer journeys, understanding what cloud, automation and AI actually change in daily work, and turning that understanding into adoption plans. Participants practise diagnosing digital readiness, framing small pilots, managing resistance with structured models such as ADKAR, and measuring adoption, using examples from government digital service programmes and Vision 2030-era transformation.
