Digital Maturity & Transformation Fundamentals Course

An introductory course describing digital transformation and maturity, its importance and key drivers.

Get an introduction to TM Forum’s perspective on digital maturity and transformation, why it is important and how to get the organization’s digital transformation started or accelerate its progress.

Use industry best practices and TM Forum models, guidelines and blueprints, learn the concepts of being digital, digital maturity and transformation, understand the background on what is driving these changes and get practical guidance on how to plan and execute programs that will help drive your organization’s digital transformation.

The success of the transformation relies on their ability to understand, internalize and apply these ideas while clearly understanding what digital maturity and transformation means to their job, their company and their industry. The course explains how to introduce, approach and manage digital transformation by leveraging the TM Forum Digital Maturity Model (DMM) and The GC Index ® framework.
