The Curriculum

Executive-Level Learning for Senior Technology Professionals

The Digital MBA for Technology Leaders combines strategic, commercial, and leadership disciplines across nine interconnected modules — each designed to strengthen executive impact and prepare senior technology leaders for C-suite success.

01 – Leadership & Team Building

Build the mindset, habits, and systems that turn strong managers into influential leaders. You’ll refine self-leadership, decision-making, and stakeholder communication while learning to hire, motivate, and retain top talent.

Key outcomes: operate effectively at executive level, lead change with empathy, and design high-performing teams that scale.

02 – Business Fundamentals

Understand the commercial engine that powers every technology organisation. Explore strategy, market analysis, brand and culture, sales and marketing alignment, legal frameworks, and corporate governance.

Key outcomes: connect technology to shareholder value, speak the language of CEOs and investors, and make commercially informed decisions.

03 – Technology Strategy & Business Goals

Align technology strategy directly to business objectives. From defining value propositions to managing tech debt and setting measurement frameworks (OKRs / KPIs), you’ll learn how technology becomes competitive advantage.

Key outcomes: craft strategy, communicate vision across functions, and execute with measurable impact.

04 – Personal Development

Strengthen the leader behind the title. Through mindset, resilience, communication, and personal branding, you’ll build authenticity and long-term career agility.

Key outcomes: overcome imposter syndrome, develop emotional intelligence, and build a visible professional profile that attracts senior opportunities.

05 – Product Development

Master how products move from hypothesis to delivery. You’ll lead cross-functional teams, balance innovation with quality, and create scalable systems for design, testing, and continuous improvement.

Key outcomes: deliver high-value products efficiently, manage stakeholders with clarity, and embed innovation within disciplined delivery.

06 – Information Management

Manage information, risk, and security as strategic assets. Cover DevOps security, data privacy, business continuity, and employee education to embed resilience in every process.

Key outcomes: protect organisational data, ensure compliance, and build security-aware cultures that enable rather than constrain innovation.

07 – Finance & Funding

Gain the financial acumen every senior tech leader needs. Learn to read P&L and balance sheets, plan budgets, partner with CFOs, and navigate fundraising, M&A, and investor relations.

Key Outcomes: make financially sound decisions, influence board discussions, and secure investment for growth.

08 – Data Science & Analytics

Turn data into an executive advantage. Explore analytics strategy, data quality, governance, and emerging techniques such as machine learning to drive insight and accountability.

Key Outcomes: Build data-driven organisations, define the value of information assets, and present metrics that shape strategic decisions.

09 – Digital Trends and Innovation

Stay ahead of disruption. Analyse current and emerging technologies—AI, data mesh, digital twins, zero-trust, and beyond—then evaluate how to apply innovation responsibly and at scale.

Key Outcomes: anticipate market shifts, identify transformative opportunities, and position yourself as a forward-thinking technology executive.
