Effective decision-making is one of the primary functions of management. Any decision that must be made must first be assessed to see if it can be implemented on both a personal and organizational level. Effective decision-making methods have been developed in a variety of ways, ranging from simple rules of thumb to more complex systems. The decision's complexity and character influence the approach taken.

This training is meant for:

- Business Leaders -Business Consultants

- HR Leaders

- Anyone who is interested in learning about decision-making skills

In this course, you are going to:

● Understand the importance of decision-making

● You recognize the skills needed for effective decision-making, and

● Identify factors that can hamper decision-making

We live in a world where any and all information is one click away. Our minds are constantly stimulated and more often than not without our knowledge. This leads to infobesity, a cognitive state that is the result of overconsumption of junk information. Decision-making cannot be understood as one mechanism, it is rather an intermingling of multiple skills and mechanisms which allow us to synthesize, analyze, process, and evaluate information.

In this course, you will:

● Recognize individual or internal factors impacting decision-making

● Recognize external factors impacting decision-making

● Explore how to overcome barriers of decision-making

Digital transformation is about being more effective and efficient. It is a rejuvenating process that implements digital technologies to improve. It does not only use technology to transform an existing service to digital service but also helps to make the existing service meaningfully improved. Digital transformation involves people transformation, organizational structural change, and organizational cultural change. Today, technology has become a part of our lives in an unprecedented way. In addition, the pace of technology change has gone up significantly and every year, newer technologies replace older, outdated ones. The need for existing skillsets to be updated has been changing in a digital enterprise and existing skills are getting outdated fast. This leads to a demand for people transformation to result in adapt to changing needs. With digital transformation, it is not only just technology-related evolution that is happening. Organizational cultures too need to take a hard look at themselves and evolve. One of the key challenges that digital transformation presents is the fine balance between culture and technology. Some organizations are more open to change whereas others have in-built resistance to change. Culture therefore can be one of the biggest stumbling blocks to enable digital transformation.

Digital technologies are an undeniable part of today’s global economy. Digital organizations, like Amazon, have set the standard for the ideal customer experience, and all industries will need to embrace digital technology in order to satisfy customer needs and expectations. Digital Transformation can be defined as Business Transformation enabled through digital technologies, such as mobile, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, robotics, data analytics, the Internet of Things, and Virtual and Augmented Reality. Within the workplace, as human work shifts to a more knowledge-based, continual learning model, the flexible and agile use of technology will be critical in attracting and retaining top talent. AI, RPA, data analysis tools, and machine learning are speeding repetitive tasks so that human workers can concentrate on activities that are less redundant and more productive and profitable. Organizations that focus on building company-wide cultures that embrace the agile, flexible world of digital technology will reap the benefits as they learn and grow.

 

• Explain how digital technology resulted in the transformation of customer needs

• Explain the role of digital technology in the transformation of the workforce

• Explain the role of digital technology in the transformation of operations

Organizations today have to adapt a digital strategy to stay aligned with the transforming market, business models, customer needs, and overall operations. In this course, we will review three aspects of digital transformation. The first aspect is the transformation of the digital technology. Legacy systems over time become operational risks for a business. These systems are not necessarily non-functional but prove to be a drain on costs and increase the vulnerability to security threats. Additionally, they prevent businesses from being truly agile in a dynamic marketplace. The second aspect is the transformation of enterprise security. With the proliferation of new digital technologies, also comes the question of enhancing the existing security protocols and creating newer ones. The third aspect is transformation of enterprise architecture. With the transformation of technology and security, enterprise architecture itself is undergoing a huge transformation.

Kotter's 8-Step Change Model was created by Harvard University Professor, John Kotter. He perceived the change process as having 8 essential steps.

The 8 Essential Steps in this model are:

Create a sense of urgency for change

Build a coalition for change Form a vision for change 

Communicate the vision for change 

Remove barriers to change 

Generate quick wins for the change 

Stay persistent with the change 

Make the change permanent

 

• Describe Kotter’s 8-step change model 

• Explain what leaders can do to make the change successful

Technical measures are only a part of the solution for an effective information protection policy. The way in which employees handle company information is at least as important. Each employee can be the target of cyber criminals. In this program you will follow 2 colleagues during their workday. From early in the morning until late in the evening they come across incidents that we can all recognize from a regular day in the office. These practical examples teach you how to deal with such situations.

The simplest definition of diversity is “a range or variety of different things”. In the context of D&I, diversity refers to “the traits and characteristics that make people unique” which include (but are not limited to) race, ethnicity, age, gender, socio-economic class, ability, sexual orientation, and nationality. The summation of these variables combine to create life experiences which shape how a person solves problems, creates, and assesses risk. These are examples of “diversity of thinking” which yields direct and indirect benefits that are foundational to the business case for investments in D&I initiatives.

 

An inclusive environment is one in which “all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, feel welcome, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organization’s success".

“One strong password to-go please! Make it a long one, with extra numbers and a capital letter. Oh, and I’ll have one symbol, too. “ “Here you go. Be careful with that. If it leaks, you’re going to need a new one. And that will be the least of your problems.” You probably know how to make a strong password. But there’s more. Handle your passwords properly, and your information will be safer still. So sit down for a moment, get a cup of coffee and discover how to use passwords in a smart way.

We learned that the Bobby Dodd Institute (BDI) strives to help people of all abilities realize their full potential by promoting economic self-sufficiency, independence, and community participation. We learned to distinguish between fact and fiction and reviewed the myths, misconceptions, and facts around disability. In this lesson, you will learn the basics of disability law including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and what its key elements cover, as well as define some important terms like “disability” and “reasonable accommodations and modifications” according to the law.

In this course, you learned that:

• Disability law, such as the ADA serves to protect people with disabilities and their relatives from discrimination and harassment

• Conditions are considered disabilities if they last longer than 6 months, impede major life activities such as walking, or if they are defined as a disability in a person’s medical history

• People with disabilities have the right to reasonable accommodations at any point in the hiring process, so long as they are not unreasonable or expensive. Employers, however, cannot deny these accommodations solely on this basis and must provide an alternative option with equal capacity to support the employee.
