Education

Amsterdam Digital Transformation Lab

We offer academic programmes, fully taught in English, to students of the Amsterdam Business School. Our objective is to equip students with the skills and competences required to succeed in today’s digital economy. For example, course participants learn to explain why and how some companies succeed in digital transformation, while others do not. Also, students learn to design strategies for incumbents to take advantage of digital transformation based on relevant theories and case studies.

Digital transformation

We provide industry specific education and training in the field of digital transformation. Read more about these programmes below.
The curriculum is continuously updated and reflects most insightful cases and stories from the industry. From blockchain to artificial intelligence and from platform business models to IT disruptions: the transition into digital products, services and business models is having a tremendous impact, radically challenging and changing how we work, compete, cooperate, buy, sell and create value. During the course, we invite students to collaborate with our partner network and turn theoretical insight into practical action. Our graduates are in high demand and we are proud they work both in commercial companies for non-profits as well.
