In one week this program takes you from a conceptual idea to a full laid out project ready to implement. That's very high value.

This program is designed for individual business executives and teams in mid to senior-level management. Ideal participants include: general managers, executives in business development, marketing, sales, operations, customer service, HR, legal and finance.
Whether you simply want to explore the latest technologies and their business applications, or you are a team with a project/opportunity you want to develop, TransformTECH is designed for you.
You will gain a deeper understanding of the latest innovative technologies and how to apply them to your business. You have a working understanding of technology rather than technical expertise. This program is not designed for tech experts.
For maximum impact, and where possible, we recommend you join as a team of colleagues.
When you encounter awe-inspiring technology, it can be challenging to see how you can apply it to your own business. You need a framework and language to ask deeper, sharper questions and find the right strategy. TransformTECH gives you all this, plus the chance to prepare your own prototype with help from experts.
