Is this course for me?
This course is geared towards executive or senior leaders in a regional, country or field office of humanitarian, development and conservation organizations. Participants may be leaders in programs, operations, communications, resource mobilization, finance and other important functions that will benefit from digital transformation. The course is not necessarily geared towards leaders of information technology, such as chief information officers. Rather, it is specifically defined to meet the learning needs of leaders of other functions.
