Program Professional Framework
Certificate in Digital Mindset and Driving Change
Program Overview
Digital transformation in Gulf organisations rarely stalls because of technology; it stalls when managers and teams keep working with analogue assumptions. This programme builds the digital mindset needed to lead change: thinking in data, experiments and customer journeys, understanding what cloud, automation and AI actually change in daily work, and turning that understanding into adoption plans. Participants practise diagnosing digital readiness, framing small pilots, managing resistance with structured models such as ADKAR, and measuring adoption, using examples from government digital service programmes and Vision 2030-era transformation.
Learning Outcomes
- ✓Assess the digital readiness of a team or unit across skills, data, processes and culture using a structured maturity checklist.
- ✓Identify the working habits and assumptions that are blocking adoption in a current digital initiative and propose replacement behaviours.
- ✓Frame a digital improvement idea as a testable hypothesis with a minimum viable pilot, success metrics and a decision point.
- ✓Apply the ADKAR model to plan awareness, capability and reinforcement actions for staff affected by a new system or workflow.
- ✓Build an adoption dashboard tracking usage, process cycle time and user feedback after go-live.
Target Audience
- Department heads and middle managers leading digital or e-service initiatives
- Digital transformation office and PMO team members

Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
