Digitalisation of Business and Industrial processes is a major driver for the Irish economy in a bid to yield a fully circular, net-carbon neutral and digital economy by 2050.   

 

In collaboration with industry partners and the Confirm research centre a strong demand for process digitalisation and data analytics in Business and Industry was identified.  The Professional Diploma in Digitalisation of Business & Industry is industry led in conjunction with an Industry Expert Working Group to meet this demand.

 

Digital transformation is the process by which companies embed technologies across their businesses to drive fundamental change. The benefits of such a strategy lead to increased efficiency, greater business agility and the unlocking of new value for employees, customers and shareholders. 

 

While digital transformation might include digitalization efforts, it goes beyond the project level and affects the entire organization. For most companies, digital transformation requires a shift away from traditional thinking and toward a more collaborative, experimental approach. These new ways of approaching work reveal new solutions which, in turn, can improve customer experience, drive employee innovation and spur company growth at the fundamental level. 

 

This programme will equip graduates with the competencies to act as a ‘Digital Support’ to operate within an enterprise.  These competencies will allow the graduate to focus on the integration of systems, analysis of key data and the demonstration of opportunities and added value for the business through process digitalisation.
