Leadership in the Age of Digital Transformation: Bridging the Tech Gap

Organizations are heavily investing in AI and digital platforms, but the disconnect lies at the leadership level where strategic tech fluency is lacking. The IIM Indore Certificate Programme aims to equip leaders with skills to drive successful digital transformation, making AI a key component of business strategy and execution.

As artificial intelligence and digital platforms penetrate various industries, organizations are investing significantly to leverage these technologies. Despite this, a substantial gap remains, with only 16% of digital transformation efforts achieving sustained performance improvements, as found in a 2025 McKinsey study.

Gartner's report indicates that 65% of organizations now employ generative AI in decision-making processes. However, the bottleneck is not access to technology but the strategic fluency at the leadership level. Limited scalability and tangible financial benefits from AI initiatives point to a leadership challenge in harnessing technology effectively.

The Certificate Programme in Digital Transformation and AI for Leaders from IIM Indore addresses this by focusing on strategic integration of AI into business models, risk management, and innovation. This initiative is becoming a cornerstone in cultivating leadership equipped to harness technological potential for measurable commercial outcomes.
