SMU’s School of Computing and Information Systems (SCIS) has launched a new Digital Transformation track for 2021 under its Master of IT in Business (MITB) programme. The MITB Digital Transformation track will equip graduates with the blend of information and communications technology (ICT) knowledge and skills to strategise and execute digital transformation in a rapidly changing environment, said SMU. The curriculum was developed based on SMU’s survey with 20 experts in public and private organisations from various industry domains to determine the talent requirements, in terms of knowledge and skillsets, for digital transformation. Professor of Information Systems (Education) Michelle Cheong, Associate Dean of SCIS Postgraduate Professional Education said, “Digital Transformation is a game changer that will empower organisations to not only sustain their business in an economic crisis, but also emerge as winners in the new normal. Companies that support digital transformation must invest in talent to innovate, optimise processes and develop new business models to maximise revenue streams. At SMU, we are meeting the needs by training talent who can support organisations to succeed in integrating digital technology into all areas of business, with the launch of the new Digital Transformation track.”
