Course Description
Digital innovation is the implementation of new digital technologies to solve existing business problems and improvise organisational practices. It is a disruptive and ongoing process that changes industries and helps organisations stay relevant and competitive. A successful digital strategy covers digital innovation initiatives such as switching from legacy systems to digital systems, implementation of new software and platforms, cloud migration, and automation, connectivity, and data analytics.
To get started with digital innovation, you need to focus on the following elements – people, process, platform, and portfolio. With the right people, processes, and platforms in place, you can drive digital innovation in your organisation to create a portfolio of disruptive processes, products, and services and launch high-value initiatives.
In this course, you will explore a suite of successful digital innovation case studies. You will identify success factors in these digital innovation case studies and learn how to apply them in different contexts.

Overview of Learning Activities
Teacher-guided learning will include lectures to present main concepts, small-class tutorials to reinforce those concepts, and supervised computer laboratory sessions to support programming practice under guidance from an instructor.
Learner-directed hours include time spent reading and studying lecture notes and prescribed text in order to better understand the concepts; working through examples that illustrate those concepts; and performing exercises and assignments designed by the teachers to reinforce concepts and develop practical skills across a variety of problem types.
Overview of Learning Resources
You are encouraged to bring your laptops and use the freely available software to conduct the laboratories.
You will make extensive use of computer laboratories and relevant software provided by the School. You will be able to access course information and learning materials through Canvas and the RMIT Student website, and may be provided with copies of additional materials in class or via email.
