Introduction to digital disruption in business

Examine the possibility for future disruption and learn how Accenture is implementing digital technology internally and with clients.

Learn from industry leaders
I wish there was a degree like this when I was at university. The Bachelor of Digital Business has been developed to cover industry relevant topics, which are directly transferable to a future in the IT field. This degree links each concept, showing how they can build on each other to innovate and create new technology offerings, and even business opportunities.
There might be a lot of hype about Blockchain, but not many people have really seen the potential of this emerging technology. In this degree, I’ll be sharing my knowledge and hands-on experiences of Blockchain with you, including examples of where Accenture is helping clients to do amazing new things with the aid of blockchain technology.
I am passionate about blending technological innovation and new ways of working to deliver value to our clients' digital projects. Accenture is developing a quarter of the courses in this degree, and it is a pleasure to share my expertise and unique experiences with the team to ensure course content is truly informed by industry.
How to build the digital skills that are so in demand in industry is top of the agenda with many of my clients. I am excited to be working with UniSA to create The Bachelor of Digital Business that focuses on the skills and capabilities we know organisations are looking for. It’s one thing to learn about digital technologies, it’s another thing to be able to apply them to successfully solve business problems as part of a team in real life! The Accenture content in this program is focused on both. You will learn from our technology experts sharing cutting edge applications fresh from our innovation and research labs as well as from our industry practitioners who work with clients to implement solutions.
