## Technology is ready; leadership often decides the outcome

Most organisations have more digital tools, data and AI options than ever. The harder part is deciding where to focus, redesigning work around them and bringing people along.

Digital transformation training equips leaders to make those calls with confidence. It treats transformation as a business and people challenge, not only a technology project.

## Sample training plan: 2-day hands-on design

This two-day workshop treats digital transformation as a business and people challenge, not an IT project. Each leader brings one live initiative, which becomes the case for every exercise. They score their organisation's digital maturity, map a customer journey, screen use cases on value and feasibility, redesign an order-to-cash process around automation and AI, stress-test data and AI readiness, and plan the people side. The capstone is a funding pitch to a mock investment committee, followed by a phased roadmap and 90-day plan.

72% hands-on practice · 13.5 contact hours · Cohort: 12–24 leaders, ideally a mix of business and technology · In person · Live virtual

Leaders can redesign a process and operating model, plan adoption and present a funded roadmap.

### How long is digital transformation training for leaders?

The recommended design is two days in person, 09:30 to 17:30, followed by two 2-hour virtual follow-up sessions to review progress on each leader's roadmap. It can also run as five live virtual sessions of three hours. Leaders work on their own live initiative throughout.

### What activities are included in digital transformation training?

Leaders run a digital maturity scan, map a customer journey, screen use cases on value and feasibility, redesign an order-to-cash process in a lab, rehearse a change announcement with an affected employee and pitch a phased roadmap to a mock investment committee.

## How we deliver it

### Live initiative focus

Each leader or team brings a real transformation challenge, which becomes the case for every exercise and the basis of their roadmap.

### Peer learning

Cross-functional discussions surface dependencies between business, technology and HR that often derail programs.

### Follow-up sessions

Two virtual follow-ups review progress on action plans and help leaders tackle obstacles as they arise.

### ADDIE-based design

Pre-program interviews with sponsors shape the cases, frameworks and depth of technical content for your leadership group.

## Tailored versions

### For GCC leadership teams

Focuses on moving from cost and delivery to capability and innovation, stakeholder influence with global headquarters and building AI-ready teams.

### For manufacturing leaders

Covers connected operations, plant data, predictive maintenance use cases and change on the shop floor.

### For BFSI leaders

Addresses digital channels, process automation, data governance and managing risk and regulation during change.

## How we measure impact

Using the Evaluate stage of ADDIE, leaders complete a pre and post assessment of digital leadership capability on AssessAll, and a 360-degree pulse can capture how teams experience their leadership of change. Each participant's roadmap is reviewed with the sponsor. At 30, 60 and 90 days, follow-up sessions track progress on committed actions, adoption measures and early value delivered, and flag where extra sponsor support is needed.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is digital transformation training?

It is a leadership program that builds the ability to use technology, data and AI to change how an organisation works and creates value. Digital transformation training covers strategy, process redesign, data and AI foundations, agile ways of working and change leadership, usually applied to the participants' own initiatives.

### Why do digital transformation initiatives fail?

Common reasons include unclear links to business value, treating transformation as an IT project, poor data foundations, weak sponsorship and too little attention to people and adoption. The program addresses each of these through practical tools and a focus on leadership behaviours, not just technology choices.

### What skills do leaders need for digital transformation?

Leaders need [strategic thinking](https://bodhih.com/strategic-thinking-training/) about value, enough data and AI understanding to ask good questions, process and customer-centred design, agile decision-making and strong change leadership. They also need to build capability in their teams. Deep technical expertise is not required, but informed curiosity is.

### How do leaders build a digital transformation roadmap?

Start with business outcomes, map where customer and process pain points are greatest, prioritise use cases by value and feasibility, then phase the work with quick wins and foundations in parallel. Define measures for adoption and value. The program guides leaders through each step for a live initiative.

### Who should attend digital transformation training?

It suits senior and mid-level leaders who own business outcomes, function heads, GCC leaders, transformation and PMO teams and business unit heads. Mixed cohorts of business and technology leaders work particularly well because they build shared language and surface dependencies early.

### Does the program include AI strategy?

Yes. A dedicated module helps leaders understand where AI and generative AI create value, what data foundations are needed and which responsible AI, security and privacy questions to ask. For a deeper focus, it pairs well with our AI for Leaders program.

### Can digital transformation training be run for a single leadership team?

Yes, and it often works well that way. When a leadership team attends together, the exercises use the organisation's own strategy and initiatives, and the output is a shared roadmap rather than separate individual plans. Pre-program interviews with the sponsor shape the cases so discussion stays focused on real decisions.

### How is impact measured after the program?

We agree measures with the sponsor before the program, such as roadmap milestones, adoption of new processes or tools and early value delivered. Leaders complete pre and post assessments on AssessAll, and two virtual follow-up sessions review progress at agreed intervals. A short report summarises achievements, obstacles and suggested next steps.
