Deepti, a core IT professional with expertise in digital product development and a passion for art, found the perfect blend of theory, creativity, and inspiration in the #ManagingDigitalTransformation course by Prof. Abhipsa Pal. Here’s her take on this transformative experience -
“The course began with a compelling question: "Are Uber and Netflix truly disruptive innovations?" This thought-provoking start set the tone for a course that went beyond surface-level understanding of digital transformation, diving deep into the intricacies of disruption theories & their practical application. Through a series of case studies & readings, Professor Pal guided us through the essential concepts such as data-driven decision-making, cloud computing, Industry 4.0, and even the future potential of AR & VR in various industries.
Each session was meticulously designed to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and real-world applications, ensuring that we grasped how these technologies are reshaping businesses and society at large. As we explored how digital transformation is impacting industries, we also looked into the rising threats that accompany these advancements. Professor Pal guided us on how to approach these challenges and make strategic decisions about digital transformation. This included understanding when to adopt technologies based on the hype cycle, and navigating the complexities of GenAI to assess its real-world application versus hype. Her insights into networked platforms and digital marketplaces also helped us understand how these ecosystems are transforming industries. In our final discussions, we took a look at what the future of work will look like with the advent of AI, a topic that underscored the transformative impact AI will have on business models, workforce dynamics, and society.
What made the course stand out was not just the rich content, but Professor Pal’s interactive teaching style. From in-class assessments to insightful presentations, we were constantly encouraged to apply what we learned to business scenarios. These activities challenged us to think critically about digital transformation from a holistic perspective, providing us with the tools to not only participate in, but also manage such transformations in our future careers.
Professor Pal’s energy, subject matter expertise, and dedication to ensuring we had the best materials and learning experience shone through in every class. We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and passion she put into making this course valuable and engaging. Thank you, Professor Abhipsa, for ensuring that we walk away from this course with practical insights and lasting knowledge that will guide us beyond the classroom.”
Deepti’s testimony about the course and the professor resonates with the entire batch. On behalf of the whole batch we thank Prof. Abhipsa Pal for her insights and teachings.
