This program equips future leaders to create resilience and leads visionary change. Mastery to navigate an uncertain future.
What you'll be doing
Candidates for our Full-time MA Digital Management programs are taken on a transformative journey to become a new kind of leader – one who is adaptive, collaborative, and creatively driven, who can go beyond conventional thinking practices to create effective teams and business value.
This is a full-time Master’s program based at our Stockholm campus for the first 6 months. There, you’ll learn with the help of a range of interactive talks, live project briefs, hands-on workshopping, team challenges, and deep reflection.
The program is comprised of five practical group projects led by industry practitioners, and an independent Industry Research Project which can be completed from anywhere in the world.
MA Digital Management – The T Shaped Skills
A T-Shaped person is well rounded rather than the “I-Shaped” expert in one area or the “master of none” person”, Being T-shaped allows you to be an expert in at least one thing but also somewhat capable in many other things. An alternate phrase for “t-shaped” is “generalizing specialist”. Digital Management students have a strong broad T that allows them to pull down the depth in areas of their choice through understanding teams, business, people & innovation, feeding into the Industry Research Project.
