Developing leaders for the digital economy

TRANSFORMING CAREERS AND COMMUNITIES

In a rapidly evolving world driven by technology, Canada stands on the brink of a significant digital revolution. As the economy embraces the digital age, the need for a digitally savvy workforce has become increasingly important. Technological evolution and generative AI are impacting the skills Canadians need to succeed in the jobs of today and tomorrow.

The Digital Innovation and Leadership (DIAL) initiative, founded by SFU Beedie School of Business in partnership with the DIGITAL, is helping Canadians access affordable short-term training to upskill and develop a digital innovation mindset and the competencies to advance Canadian organizations in the digital economy.

Transform Digital Ideas into Action

Whether you want to streamline HR operations, revamp your marketing strategy, optimize sales processes, enhance IT infrastructure, or fine-tune your financial workflows, the Digital Transformation Management (DTM) program is your pathway to transform your digital innovation concepts into tangible, game-changing actions.

Learn to leverage generative AI, like ChatGPT, to implement business solutions by:

  • Collaborating with peers from various industries to co-create digital solutions.

  • Creating compelling visuals to articulate your vision for innovation and communicate clearly and effectively.
