New Digital Innovation track
Artificial intelligence occupies a central role in EDHEC’s Global MBA programme, as witnessed by the creation of a new Digital Innovation specialisation track co-produced with IBM France.
The track is built around:
- 3 weeks of classes focusing on digital transformation, managing change, the history and present of artificial intelligence, and design thinking. Classes enable participants to deepen their knowledge of technical concepts like blockchain, hybrid cloud and machine learning with experts from IBM France.
- a 1-week business trip to strategic IBM facilities: the Design Thinking studio dedicated to digital transformation and creativity, the Global Industry Solutions Center and the Scale Zone, the new area devoted to industrialising innovation projects between start-ups and mature companies.
This new track adds to the two existing ones created in partnership with Google and Amadeus: Essentials of Operations and Supply Chain, and Big Data & Artificial Intelligence @ Work.
