IIM Indore Launches Certificate Programme in Digital Transformation and AI for Leaders
IIM Indore issued a press release on 29 October 2026 announcing a new Certificate Programme in Digital Transformation and AI aimed at senior professionals who need strategic technology fluency. The announcement cites a 2025 McKinsey study indicating that only 16 % of digital transformation initiatives deliver sustained performance improvements, and a Gartner report that 65 % of organisations now regularly use generative AI in decision‑making, highlighting a gap between technology adoption and leadership capability.
The programme is structured to address this gap by providing participants with a strategic perspective and practical frameworks. It is delivered through a blend of recorded sessions and weekly live doubt‑clearing sessions with industry experts. Core masterclasses include an AI Tool Workshop offering hands‑on exposure to leading AI tools and workflows, an AI ROI for Digital Transformation session focused on measuring and maximising returns across functions, a GenAI and Agentic AI Use Cases class covering applications in IT, BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare and e‑commerce, and a session on The Future of Digital Transformation with AI that explores emerging technologies shaping autonomous enterprises.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to understand and articulate key concepts of digital transformation and AI, develop and implement AI‑driven strategies to optimise business processes and enhance decision‑making, innovate business models using AI technologies, enhance customer relationships through AI‑driven insights and personalization, address and manage challenges and risks associated with digital transformation and AI implementation, and lead and manage digital transformation initiatives across diverse organisational contexts.
Additional benefits include peer‑to‑peer learning, cross‑industry networking, and the conferment of IIM Indore Executive Alumni status, which together strengthen both capability and professional capital.
