In this program, participants will learn how to find and produce new and streamlined disruptive business ideas through digital auditing and a rapid ideation process, as well as pitch ideas and develop plans to rigorously test and evaluate each opportunity to ensure market suitability.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for business leaders and entrepreneurs to build new ventures and transform industries and organizations enabled by these technologies,” said faculty author Karan Girotra, professor of operations technology, information and management at Cornell Tech and at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business.
“Digital technologies lend themselves to rapid iteration, low-cost development and experimentation, and businesses need to learn a new way to build products enabled by these technologies. It’s a key skill set for any digital era builder.”
This program consists of seven two-week courses, including:
- Preparing for Digital Transformation;
- Rapid Ideation;
- Generating Opportunities for Digital Disruption;
- Developing and Pitching Ideas;
- Value Creation and the Business Model Canvas;
- Prototypes and Pilots; and
- Experimentation Planning.
