Welcome to Digital Transformation Strategy! As you probably know, this is the first course in a three part specialization focused on the digital transformation of finance. We'll aim to bring you insights about how digitalization intersects with finance, culled from one of the world's top regions for digital innovation.

Click Discussions to see forums where you can discuss the course material with fellow students taking the class. Be sure to introduce yourself to everyone in the Meet and Greet forum! This course should take about four weeks to complete. You can check out the recommended course schedule below to see a quick overview of the lessons and assignments you’ll complete each week. By the time you finish this course, you’ll have mastered the transformational forces of digitalization and the new competitive dynamics it gives rise to, learned from leading financial companies and seen inspirational examples from the digital masters. You'll be introduced to the Capstone Project for the specialization and have a chance to form some preliminary solutions for a financial company seeking a new strategy for the digital age of finance. Good luck as you get started. I look forward to seeing you in class!...

I come from technology background and joined one of the major banks in the US 2 years ago, working on leveraging technology for banking. The course was very helpful in providing a framework for viewing how technology and financial sector come together in transforming the business and creating new products, services, partnerships and threats/opportunities. Both the instructors and the Saxo Bank COO were great in explaining the concepts with theory and examples: they were passionate.

I have studied how digital innovation is transforming the financial sector and can acknowledge that the gap between the digital world and the financial sector is narrowing. Thus, financial institutions have to embrace open but regulated innovations in order to meet changing demand from digital customers.

I am equally satisfied with peer-review of projects as it enables sharing of views and a very good learning experience.

As someone needing a solid grounding in digital transformation for the FinTech industry, I have benefitted immensely from this introduction. I have become familiar with the terminology and the drivers of the transformation that is taking place, and I am ready to tackle the next course in the specialization, "FinTech and the Transformation in Financial Services. Great delivery from Prof Jonas Hedman!

It was a great course to learn more about digital strategies in the financial services industry. I felt like I learned the most during the final assignment, when advising SaxoBank about their journey towards Open APi. The course leaves you with both technical and topic knowledge to better understands what drives strategic decisions in the finance and fintech space. Highly recommend!

Digital technology is redefining the keys to a successful business model. In the financial services space, we are witnessing the unbundling of financial services where platforms, ecosystems and partnerships play an important role. The course does a wonderful job in explaining these impacts and the strategies to operate in the digital world for a financial services player.

Great way to enter into the digitalization of financial firms. Or indeed, see how tech firms are the one which are now offering financial services. The case of Saxo Bank as a BaaS provider is really interesting. I do recommend this course, of course!
