What is the aim of this course?More and more firms are looking for ways to digitalize their operations. Since this is usually a new thing for them, they hire consultants to help them achieve this goal. When it comes to digitalization there are many options that you can consider. That's why creating a strategy for digitalization is pretty challenging. To make your life easier, we have created a simple yet useful framework that will help you conduct digitalization projects for your customers. In this course, I will teach you how to define the digitalization strategy and perform fast and efficiently different types of analyses during consulting projects.In the course you will learn the following things:What options you should consider when defining the digitalization strategyHow to define the digitalization strategyHow to analyze the benefits of digitalization in ExcelHow to model in Excel businesses that have a big digital componentHow to digitalize products, sales & marketing, and processesThis course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated a total of 2 billion in additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 200 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work.Why have I decided to create this course?Digitalization projects are fast-paced and require an analytical approach. You have to also master different skills and tools that you will be using during such projects especially generating potential ideas, analyzing in Excel, and creating simplified financial models. Most firms don't give you the full toolbox that you need. This may lead to huge frustration during digitalization projects and a lot of inefficiencies.Therefore, I have decided to create this course that will help students understand or refresh the main skills and tools that they need during Digitalization Projects. The course will give you the knowledge and insight into real-life case studies that will make your life during a consulting project much easier. Thanks to this course, you will know what and how to do during Digitalization Projects. You will master how to analyze data and draw conclusions from the analyses. On top of that, you will also master the essential information related to defining Digitalization Strategy.To sum it up, I believe that if you want to become a world-class Management Consultant or Business Analyst you have to have a pretty decent understanding of Digitalization Projects and analyses done during such projects. That is why, I highly recommend this course to Management Consultants or Business Analysts, especially those that will work on strategy and process improvement. The course will help you become an expert in Digitalization on the level of McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other top consulting firms.In what way will you benefit from this course?The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of analyses, tricks, and hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you understand, and analyze businesses.
