Overview

Mastering Digital Transformation for Organizational Excellence         

30th May - 1st June 2024 - THREE DAYS Workshop    
Online

The workshop will be facilitated two of the world-renowned experts in Digital Transformation, Dr Rawad Hammad and Professor Allam Ahmed winners of Emerald Literati Award for Outstanding Paper 2021 on learning theories and models underpinning technology-enhanced learning artefacts.

This workshop has been designed to introduce a variety of fundamental perspectives on Digital Transformation (DT) and Organizational Excellence. More focus in the workshop will be on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science (DS) and Knowledge Management (KM) to build future leaders in public and private sectors who are able to respond to the ever-growing challenges facing our communities.

The workshop aims to enable leaders and decision makers to introduce fit-for-purpose Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Knowledge Management applications and approaches to their organizations to respond to evolving challenges. The workshop will therefore explain why tools such as AI can be suitable for certain types of problems and how AI solutions can be designed and developed to improve the quality of citizen’s life.

Participants will be enlightened on how much AI and other tools has the potential to make our lives better in almost all fields. It gives us the tools necessary to learn from and capitalise on human experience and perform complex tasks such as recommending solutions based on processing large amounts of data.
