The curriculum focuses on the practical aspects of emerging technology. It will provide you with the tools you need to evaluate opportunities, build business cases, create a roadmap for adoption, and become a trusted technology advisor to your organisation or clients.
The curriculum includes four live "deep dive" sessions with Berkeley Haas faculty. After each module, you will have the opportunity to apply the emerging trends and strategic considerations of each technology to your own organization.
Capstone Project: The program culminates with you applying what you have learned by using the proprietary FLP-IT framework from Berkeley Haas to assess future-oriented tech scenarios and harness opportunities amid disruption by focusing on Forces, Logic, Phenomena, Impact, and Triage.
