HEC Paris, a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), is organising a short interactive executive education programme entitled “Meeting the challenges and opportunities of today in the fields of digitisation and radical transformation” yesterday at the University’s headquarters in Doha.

The programme aims to educate senior executives in Qatar on the major challenges facing various sectors nowadays, particularly digitization and the impact of radical shifts.

The program reviews the challenges facing regional and global companies in the age of digital transformation and radical change, as well as discussing opportunities in this area.

It will also allow participants to get a closer look at the concepts, methods and in-depth knowledge offered by the HEC Paris University in Qatar to all its associates and will be a valuable opportunity to learn about the core values and educational level of the University’s renowned executive MBA program. 

Which will ensure that they have a comprehensive understanding of the various topics they will be familiar with when enrolling in the executive MBA program.

The program will also highlight the impact of digital transformation in a range of sectors where participants will collaborate on identifying the fundamentals and how they can be applied in the companies they work in, as well as ways to analyze and respond to the impact of radical shifts and disturbances and how to respond to it, as well as provide them with the necessary skills to ensure that their companies are transformed into influential and effective entities.

Large and small companies around the world, especially in the Middle East, often identify areas of digitization and radical transformation as the biggest challenge to their operations, said Professor Roger Hallowell, the program supervisor. 

He added that in parallel to the international race to keep pace with change, there are a lot of senior executives and decision makers who do not have a clear picture of the meaning of the areas of digitization and benefits to the companies they work for.

The new program will allow participants to study several examples of best practices of digitization, explore the possibility of applying them in the GCC countries, and provide participants with a central foundation on how to integrate them into their executive roles in order to achieve the best results.
